Come on Sunny, whats the true story? Are you just a dreamer?
Plus he was bitching about the $60 entry fee...

Par for the course unfortunately - I can't say that I've ever heard a positive word out of Sunfish's mouth (keys?) about anything here unless he was backing up someone else who was also having a moan...
1. I see no discontinuity between paying $1000's for one thing and bitching about the price of something else. Do you realy think billionaires don't bitch about parking tickets like the rest of us?

2. I guess I could be a Pollyanna and go on about how wonderful Avalon was/is. but that would be a lie. The air display on the Public days? Great! The hardworking staff? Ditto!

However, I tells it like it is. There was SFA to interest a GA pilot who has been there before who is in the market for aircraft or aircraft gear. Deal with it.

If I go again, it will be for the display only.
