Sun-n-Fun Fly-in
It's that time of year again for us East Coasters - The EAA Sun-n-Fun fly-in in Lakeland, Florida April 2 through 8, second only to Oshkosh in size.
My plans to attend last year were rudely interrupted by my illustrious employer, who cancelled my vacation for 767 training. So I'm raring to go this year!
Shayla and I plan on arriving the afternoon on April 1. That's a day before the official start, but the antique/classic parking area is usually full if you don't get there early. Look for a polished aluminum and red 52 170B, tail number N8143A. We'll be staying at the Davis Brothers motel in Bartow.
Anyone else going? It would be great to meet some of you guys... Russ Farris

Four days and no replies, isn't anyone going to Lakeland??? Oh, well, hope to see some of you guys there! I'm entering the Continously Maintained class. As you might guess, it's for airplanes that have never undergone a ground-up restoration. Been polishing the aluminum on the entire machine, for the first time in three years. I'll be in the Vintage/Antique classic parking area...Russ Farris

I called AUA (the outfit who offers insurance discounts to EAA-Vintage members) today,to find out why I hadn't heard back from them in over a week about the quote I requested. I was told that the gal I had talked to,Pam,was away at Sun & Fun. My information was on her desk,but no quote was ever prepared. Since my current policy with AIG (who advertises in the 170 News!) expires in a week,and I need to get this done, I'm just renewing with them. They had a better price than anyone else who DID give me a quote.
So if anyone talks to this Pam from AUA at Sun & Fun, please give her the same message I gave her office: since my business doesn't seem to be very important to them (or they have the world's worst service!), I am insuring with AIG again, and will advise everyone I know to do the same.
We should all refuse to tolerate crummy service,then those outfits will either improve or disappear.
