Current update time December 17, shortly after 10:30pm Eastern.
--->We need to determine a show order. I really could care less who goes first and last, but it would be good to do this so we don't have a massive pileup on the hold short line, and people can sit in the viewing area knowing they won't miss out on their performance and that they have an allotted time.
--->Are we using Teamspeak for this event?
--->Will there be routines involving multiple members in the air at once?
--->I am aware of one fly-in. (Member not appearing immediately at Edwards AFB.) Any others?
--->Keeping the previous two points in mind, we need to set a "stage-time" for each performance. I was thinking 4 minutes max, but am unsure if this would interfere with anyone's routines.
Also, I am unsure of how many people we could get if everyone is able to show up, since I have that list of thread participants that did not indicate a likely intention of doing so. I think B-Valvs is making 15-20 parking spaces, which should be plenty, but some arrival guidelines should probably be set, and I propose the following:
--All arrivals (performers + spectators) minus the known performance fly-in should be parked at the airfield at least 10 minutes prior to the event start time.
--I'll try to get an attendance update in this thread the day of the performance if I can show up. This will consist of me indicating whether or not sufficient parking is available. (probably)
If for some reason we get a huge crowd and lack parking (highly doubtful), I need all newcomers to appear at Edwards Auxiliary North Airfield, and slew to the spectator area.
--If a performer is not present by the time their performance starts, then the schedule simply moves onto the next person. If the performer shows up later, they will be fit in either last or wherever space is available.
More show logistics:
-When a performer has 1 minute left, the next in line can taxi to the hold short line. With 30 seconds left, the next up can line up on the end of the runway. When the previous performer is on final approach for their end of performance landing, the next performer takes off, and can do one circuit or whatever is necessary until the previous performer clears the runway.
-Regarding the previous note. Each performer's clock starts when the runway is clear and they are lined up on short final to fly over show center.
Their clock ends when they are on short final for their final landing.
I'm not going to be a time-nazi about this, but I'm sure we would appreciate people sticking close to whatever the allotted time will be.
-Turn crash detection off.
NOTE: I encourage discussion on the show clock info. I am unsure of the best way to do this.
Finally, on a non-critical note.....
I am still unsure of my work schedule for this date, so ironically I may not even be able to show up to this event. I'll find out by the end of next week.
I don't want to blindly set rules for a lot of the above points because I am afraid of messing up people's performance plans, so I need some good input here on every aspect that I mentioned.
