O.K. so, who in the area wants to meet up on Saturday Sept. 13th at KTTN and go for a ride?  Sunday could be an option also.  I'll be there either day we want to meet up!!

THU - SUN
SEP
11 - 14  
TTN Trenton Mercer Airport Trenton, New Jersey, USA
Ford Tri-Motor Tour stop
Hosted by EAA Chapter 78 Cost is $40 for EAA members; $50 for non-EAA members, and $100 for the right seat (the right seat is only available on a limited basis.) EAA's immaculate 1929 Ford Tri-Motor is undertaking a tour at various locations in 2008. Take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the magic of flight in the world's first mass-produced airliner!

Sounds like a plan!!

Also, you might be interested in this also. Flying "W" Airport is hosting the IAC 52's Kathy Jaffe Challenge Aerobatic Contest again this year in Ausgust.  I'll be going on Saturday.  Check the link below.

Cripes, why is everything down in South Jersey? I'll probably be heading down there as well. Depends what my work schedule is.

I don't like the beach anymore. It ate my shoe on LBI. :P

If I'm free, I'll be there on the 13th... when the Tri-Motor is on tour, for an extra (small) fee they will put you in the right seat and let you fly it.
That would look great in my log book! ;D

They are offering a limited amount of right seat flights.  They suggest that you reserve it online.

I'm so mad, the Tri-Motor came through here last Saturday and no one at work bothered to call and tell me.  >:(

Sometimes I can hear the airport from my house, depending on the atmosphere.  There are nights where I can hear the airliner land, taxi in, feather the props and shutdown.  Saturday though I was too busy running around to notice.

Bump.

So how's this scenario playing out? I remember I asked off work for either Saturday or Sunday... but that was a month ago and I don't remember which. :P What days are you two thinking?

I'm working until one on Saturday. Thankfully, I can just get right to Trenton in about half an hour so I'll be there no later than quarter to two. Do we want to catch an early dinner afterwards?
