Steve He chose Airfield Management, 1C7X1 I'm glad he chose a different AF career path from mine. And hope he puts in for an overseas assignment. And to finish off his degree. He has the 2-year, so he's an A1C after BMTS. He needs to get out on his own and grow. Thanks! -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chriss7607 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The new 1/48 F4U Corsair looked very nice as did the new 1/48 Airfix Sea King. Other than that no.. it was pretty quiet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Da SWO Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Aircraft judging is done. Massive number of judges this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Would like to have attended but the AC is out on my truck. Not sure I would survive the drive from Dallas in this heat wave.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chriss7607 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Temps hung around 104-105. It was just miserably hot. The parking at the venue is terrible: not enough of it and nowhere else remotely around there to try. If you got a space, you really couldn't leave for lunch. That is unless you wanted to repeat the search for a space when you got back. I also don't think there was a decal sheet this year. If there was, I certainly didn't see it.

KursadA Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I am headed to the Nats now. I plan to hang our near Dave's (Flying Lathernecks Decals) table and also attend some seminars. If anyone is planning a get-together, please post here so I can stop by. Edited August 5, 2023 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I don't remember since I wasn't interested in anything on it - I traded mine (with the brochure) to Jeff Garrity for a Skylancer Decals F2H-3 Banshee Part 1 sheet that Donald Wood doesn't have any more of...
