One factor that has not been given enough weight is the proximity of the location to the Captain. He started and maintains this board even though I understand doesn't now have a Busa. Eureka Springs Arkansas again becomes the best location due to proximity to the Captain.
I will offer to pick up the Captain and his family members in my 5-place airplane and transport them to our meet in Eureka Springs free of charge. He might really enjoy the plane since it performs like a Hayabusa with wings. I would stay at our cabin on Norfork Lake near Mountain Home Arkansas for this event and commute to Eureka Springs anyway (about 1 1/2 hour ride). I have a car that I leave at the airport for when we fly to the lake so it would not be a big inconvenience.
Someone tell me if I can attach a video to a message on this board and I will attach a short-field takeoff of me in our plane.
I always take my family (wife, 15 year old daughter, and 13 year old son) on trips like this. Only one Busa so it will be traveling back and forth with one of the kids and the wife and other kid in another vehicle. How many are bringing their wife, girlfriend, children, etc?
