Then how about a pointer to.. http://www.heliocourier.net (at least one thing that says helio on it…)
I met Nathan at Osh during the Helio reunion he is a very nice young man and has a nicely put together web site. A great amount of pictures and info it and he’s trying to do some sales on it as well. (bought the hat/shirt). Without pushing it he is also kind of and insperation, he has Cerebral palsy and to the best of his abillity not letting that slow him down, bottom line just a very nice person.
Cheers

by the way
EAA/Warbird/vintage #12832 (main membership since 1964)
p.s.
if one posts a link to http://www.helioassociation.org/ thats great, but lets have some Helio info on it otherwise it looks like just another bit of add/spam and is embarrassing as an EAA member….if your under development then I appologize and look forward to another great Helio site!!
Pardon the little detour, but does anyone know anyhing about the Spit for sale on Barnstormers? The advert comes from Total Aero Service, Kiings Lynn (your side of the pond) Doesn’t say which Mk,flyer or is it just data plate??
Thank you
Tony
Newbie here… Hope your going for a wedding with that timing….cause the Detroit air shows are May 21-22 for Selfridge Airbase, Yankee Airforce (Thunder over Michigan) Aug5-7,Oschkosh July25-31 3hrs(ish)north of Chicago. That being said 🙁 .. Chicago.. Science/industry museum, Natural History museum, Art Museum, and the Aquarium are great places to visit. Science and Industry take a cab to it, then check bus times to the other museums they are basically next to each other (or cab it)
On your way to Detroit if you can the stop at the http://www.Airzoo.org is nice.. abit pricey.
In Detroit..Henry Ford Museum/IMAX/Greenfield Village If your here thats where to go. Art museum is.. OK we go to Chicago or Toronto to have fun (down town type fun) Detroit is a nice city(looking at it from Windsor Ont. or appox 4,000 ft up and 20miles out or sitting on a boat.Hard to get carjacked from those last three locations :rolleyes: )
Yankee Airforce (your going to miss a loud show, can’t you get lost in LasVegas or Colorado till August??) 7-B17’s, 1-B24, 1-LB30(B24), 1-B29, 5-B25’s, JU52 4-P51’s, 4-P47’s etc…
Dayton Ohio is about 200 miles south of Detroit so thats probably out of range but but that would be the place to visit for static displays
On you way to Toronto is the Canadian Warplane Heritage. http://www.warplane.com/
and could tie that into a nice side trip to Niagara Falls/Niagara on the Lake great wine country.. plus
http://www.fightercombat.com go in a Strearman or Extra 300 and down the steet you could do Helicopter rides over the falls
Cheers, Hope you have a go and safe trip
