Happy New year to all:)

Booked my 3 day pass and banquet last year and digs looking forward to it a it be my 2nd trip to Houston !!:ok:

[PANews]

Happy New Year all.

With a bit of luck this will be the last Houston [until someone re-invents it again!]... the show is fine ... no, it is brilliant... but this venue has a lot of downers compared to the other options.

You know what they say in the film world... location, location, location.... and although the Convention Centre is 'nice' enough the concrete canyons of Downton Houston are not the best backdrop.

The ever popular Las Vegas looming just over the horizon ... location, location, location...

HAI tries to spread the convention out between the two coasts and the middle of the country. They out grew Dallas and this is why they are in Houston. As for being in the concrete canyons, who goes outside during the convention anyway? Houston does have positives, like real BBQ and kolaches. As for LV, it is basicly a west coast location, but in the past it has always been over booked and expensive.

Hello folks, has someone of you planned to go to the HAI, or some of the courses of the days before???

Thanks and Regards!!!:ok:

[RaymondKHessel]

BBQ and kolaches--2 of the only 5 things I miss about living in Texas. I just booked my flight and signed up for the flight instructor's course. Last year I attended the Wire Environment and Mountain Flying courses, both of which I'd highly recommend. Also, the CFI mentoring workshop was excellent.

We will be exhibiting there again this year so make sure you stop in and say hi.

steve

[MiKeRoToR]

Hi ned, in which stand???

[DeltaFoxy]

Heli-Expo has grown too big for LV Convetion Center...and pretty much all other convention centers besides Houston, Orlando, and Anaheim.

MD600, check PM.

[chopper2004]

So who on here is going to Houston? :cool::ok::)

Any hints or guesses at what the highlights from the show will be such as, Sikorsky 76D, Schweizer 434, EC-175 prototype, R-66 Goat?
:cool:

[paco]

I'll be there till Sunday pm - see u there!

Phil

[WOP]

In search of free passes if anyone has them available... :}

[Ned-Air2Air]

If any member of pprune is going to Heli Expo then make sure you stop in and say hi at Booth 4528, right by Sikorsky.

Cheers and hope to see some of you there.

Ned :ok::ok:

[212man]

See you there Ned - I'll be around from the 20-25th.

[chopper2004]

Will do see you all there next week :)

P.S anyone going to enjoy the delights of the Flying Saucer bar?

:ok:

[Darkhorse30]

I'll be there the first two days, and I'll drop by.

[mckpave]

I'll be there on Sunday and it's my birthday!! :ok:

[THM]

I guess the beers are on you then

[chopper2004]

mckpave

Come to the Flying Saucer then :) :ok:

[jetdriverbr]

So I have a day trip going to Hobby in Houston on Monday to sit at the FBO all day. Anyone have a inexpensive way to get in the expo? Looking at the vendor list Dallas Airmotive is the only one we do business with, but they are out of passes.... Maybe I need to become a student for a day!

[chopper2004]

Again from the fruits of my labors a few weeks ago, so please enjoy :ok:
