Sirvivr,

"Fantasy Land".....by that you mean the HR Office in Redhill?

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 ?

Excellent Squirrel meet you in the bar!!!:ok: 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!! :ok:

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 ?

Bennigans
Steak and Ale House
Red Lobster
Tony Bahama's
Silzzler's
Houlihans
Thai Thani
Ming Court
Bahama Breeze

Well done for the foot work,

Has anyone got any idea on the best day for the get together?

Heli expo is from the Thursday thru to the Saturday which day will be the best for everyone?

Chester:ok:

SAS:

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.

So what's happening with this. Nice to see Kissmysquirrel will be in attendance. We can make fun of him after his first beer !:p

Shall we say the Saturday at the Steak and Ale house 7pm ? Anway wanna input ??

Saturday at the Steak and Ale house at 7pm sounds good,

anyone else agree or disagree?

Chester:ok:

The steak place sounds good to me at 7pm, 1 silly question the saturday date will be? I'm looking at my hitch calendar and can't remember dates discussed. Its a age thing.....:{ :ugh:

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?

Bert

At the moment it looks like "the Steak and Ale House" at 7pm on Saturday the 3rd of March,

How does that sound ?

Chester:ok:

Snake and Tail...........My favorite place......
Should I be in town, I will dispense a few brewskis for my friends and dodge the Beer Bottles from those who cant handle my postings...

We may get to share one yet Bert, see you all there if I make it back from CT on time.:)

Count me in.

See you all there.

Am I right, this is it:

"the Steak and Ale House" at 7pm on Saturday the 3rd of March

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??

Bsousa,

Nix on the free dinner, I will get the free peanuts from the bar for you, though.......


Is the tail wheel lock pin still straight? If so, you get the free drink!

Nick
