Thanks to Herb for the post of 31X @ SNF.
I volunteered to work the air show, and was hired to manage the military "hot" ramp on the north side of the field. Running around in a big white GMC pickup, working about 37 hours a day. But the D.O. (Greg Gibson) picked up the tab for my room, allowed me use of the truck to go to the motel. Military Hospitality, the charming and wonderful Shelly Blessing kept all our active duty members and their friends and family fed and watered for 7 long days.

I saw three 337s and one O-2 during the show. Work constraints only allowed me to stop and chat briefly with a NY couple who arrived on Monday. Wish I could have met the other two owners.

This was my over water debut with 31X, we went feet dry over McDill AFB with a little over an hour remaining in the tanks, 15000' all the way, with Pensacola, Elgin, and Tyndall MOAs all closed on a Saturday. Essentially VFR on top till New Orleans, then CAVU all the way to Lakeland.

31X and I will be there. I will be working the Military Hospitality area (Warbird Ramp at the "south" edge of B3) and the military "hot" ramp on the north side of the field. I'll make an effort to come visit with as many Skymaster/O2 attendees as I can. Last year we had 3 337s on the field and one O-2.

IF I can get several (6?) confirmed 337 attendees I will try and get us a dedicated parking enclave south of the RWY 05 threshold. Reply with tail number, ETA, and duration of stay.
