First CockpitBuilders.com Annual Get Together

[fdspcos]

To follow up the idea of an Annual Get Together here is a nice start from Peter.
---------------------------------------------
"Pick a day in the summer folks, we are more than willing/able to host the "First Annual Cockpitbuilders.com" event at our new facility.
We move in a week and the new shop is well set up for this sort of thing by then.
Steve and I should have a complete 737NG device in the front lobby with a 3-Channel Collimated display running.
Lets discuss.
Peter"
----------------------------------------------
Suggestions, comments are welcome.
Please chime in.

Location works super nicely for me

Perfect!

I wonder which would be the most expensive, the plane ticket from the other side of the planet or the eskimo suit to survive!! That would be great, it's on the wish list to visit FDS!

Gents,  I will put this together.  I will have a chat with Peter and crew as soon as the holidays are over, and lets make this happen.  If FDS is happy to host us, we would be honored to take them up on this offer.

Seems like it is time that we get this ball rolling.  We can schedule it for the summer, so that those of you who need to get passports have lots of time to get one.

Sounds like an amazing idea.

Gwyn: Hot and muggy, an irresistible way to escape from YOUR "winter"
Would be fantastic to have you here Guys!

One charm of Cockpitbuilders.com is to have a real international membership and having an Event like this would not be centered on visiting Hardware booths but on finally shaking hands with you crazy Guys and  share our contagious passion for flight .
Toronto is served by most if not all airlines and it will be wonderful to see all of you flocking in from all continents.
TBC 4 sure!

[dharrison]

I will be there. Gotta use those miles i've racked up for something.

Count me in!

No promises... But hoping to make it over for Oshkosh 2012 and my sister lives in RI so if the dates are close enough and the ticket prices don't kill me it might happen. Still need a visa for Canada though

[jackpilot]

Might be a good idea to link it with Oshkosh,
Setting a date too, as soon as possible, for the visa requirements
Tourist visa for Canada should notbe an issue as long as arrangments are made ahead of time.

Count me in!

Last one was a blast and FDS would be awesome to host.  Happy to pitch in for the food and drink also...

I will be there. However I need a date ASAP. At work, I am already late to schedule some days off next year. Best time for me, end of August, begining of September

I'm in but if it is early....

I'm PCS'ing back over to Germany this summer.  Just my luck I'll miss the get together...

The bright side is I can make FS Weekend in Europe next year (of course, again, with my luck...  they'll have it in Australia next year!)

I'll make that drive!  Count me in.

I'll bring an empty SUV to leave room to buy some stuff

[Drewsta]

I think this is a fantastic idea, I'm hoping I can make it even though it is the other side of the globe. The real problem is stuffing the FDS 787 project into my suitcase!!

[Trevor Hale]

ROFL Guys!  It will be a lot of fun. and I promis to get a date and make an announcement as soon as we get the Holidays over with! 

Trev

[Tyler Reed]

I guess that means I should get my passport renewed so i can cross the border

[jackpilot]

We used to cross the lines both ways  by just saying our name...remember?
Who started that?

Hope you can make it Guys, would be a blast to meet!

[fordgt40]

Hi

Date permitting, I will try to make it and combine with a visit to my brother in Chicago

Regards

David

[jackpilot]

Super!

[DaveK]

i just did some trip checking on the net and it will take 3 flights to get there but I am up for a visit. Always wanted to visit Canada so now I have no excuse.

[jackpilot]

Ha! you are setting a standard for OZ!
Will be fantastic
Some nice sims to visit from West to East
No need for B&B !
Jack

[Efe]

Unless he's from Oz, Minnesota 

[DaveK]

No effe, definately Oz as in Oztralia,,, the land down under

So I have been thinking about this trip to Canada and some questions come to mind...

What are the best dates to come to Canada?

What are we actually going to do?

How many days do ppl contemplate meeting up for?

Do we Aussies want to meet up somewhere (?Brisbane) and travel together?

Some things to think about over the holidays

[FredK]

Count me in for sure!.  As mentioned elsewhere getting a date nailed down ASAP would help facilitating schedules.  Would not want to miss it due to some other kind of family vacation commitment etc.

Wow you lucky guys !!!

I wish I could come too, but traveling from Greece to Canada is difficult for a weekend.

Please keep the rest of us in the other side of the globe informed and pls post many pics and videos to make us jealus
