Shad:I plan on going. I'll be flying down form VPZ in my Tripacer on Friday and leavingon Saturday or Sunday. My Wife and I flew in for Sinful Sundae last Sunday.We came in late figuring we would be too late for lunch, but still be able toget ice cream. As we got close we kept hearing call after call for Lee Bottomon the radio. As we got closer we started to see multiple planes in front ofus coming into the pattern. As we turned final we had 3 planes in front of uson final and 1 more behind us on downwind. I estimate there were at least 125planes on the ground while we were there.For those that might go, here are some photosRick SchreiberValparaiso IN----- Original Message -----
