The convention centre is located near the intersection of 4 and 528, the beach line, on International Drive. If someone can recommend somewhere to host this proposed melee, then go for it. Otherwise, I will be in Orlando this weekend, and can scout for locations. Presume restaurant/bar would be ideal ?
Mines a large one. How will I recognise you? Are you still 270lbs, bald, with that fake hair piece? and stick on hairy chest wig!! Guest

as promised, I dodged the bullets and the harrasment at the traffic lights, and drove the short half mile up International drive, just by the conference centre. Within crawling/walking/stumbling distance of the conference centre - corporate USA take your pick from the list below. Most look like they are restaurants with bars attached - listed in order of looking the most likely suitable. If anyone else can suggest - bring it on. Which day suits best - Thurs/Fri or Sat ?

Since we are now truely international, right, it is indeed a fantasy world.
chester2005:
Bell usually has a party for the exhibitors the night before the opening, Sikorsky and Eurocopter usually compete for the party attendees on the first night, so how about the 2nd or 3rd of March.
SAS:
Almost forgot. A Boat Show the same weekend in Orlando. A chance to spend much more money than on causing the higher brain facilities of pilots to succumb to alcohol, and possibly tell stories. Sorry, probably.
I have my stories prepared.

Sirvivr,
The Fisher 37 got sold....as did the Baba 35 but I am onto a 45 foot CSY in Florida....being a helicopter pilot I have no money....have given up drink....and would never stoop to telling a "Lie". A bit of prevarication while taking some Snow Snake anti-venom perhaps but yarning and drinking....never. With Nick Lappos as my witness....am now living at the foot of the Cross.

Hey, I just tuned in on this. Would love to trade stories with Scasless and may have some contract work in Floridia around then........
Must I go back and read or are there firm dates and places?

Maybe if we all show an interest in Sikorsky Aircraft, Nick would buy dinner..
I still have my first tail wheel locking pin from the CH-34 days. Will that at least get me a free drink??
