Hello all! Anyone planning on coming to Orlando, Florida this year for their show? I'm planning on going. The show takes place from July 23 through the 25th. The site is www.ai2009.com. I was planning on entering a bunch of models in the contest.

Hello Crownvic. I forgot to answer back to your question in regards to what models I'm bringing. I'm hoping to bring many as possible since I will drive in my car this time. I plan on bringing a bunch of built Hasegawa kits for the model contest;, 727s, 737s, 747s, 767s, 777s, MD-80s and MD-90s, DC-9s, Wooster 757s, Doyusha DC-8s and a Concorde and before I forget hopefully an MD-11. I don't know if I'll sell them nor not. I'm hoping to find a couple of more Hasegawa kits to build too. Thanks!

BTW, crownvic, I don't know what day you are planning to attend, but our flight home is on the 25th, so we may meet, or we may never meet. We'll just have to see how things plan out.

Hey all! I still plan on being up there and I'll bring some models to the contest. Some models I won't be able to bring since I can't finish them in time. Does anyone plan on bringing 1/200 and 1/144 decals to sell at the show?

And we have flights on those days. No flights on Sundays and Tuesdays. I might make a stop there in the morning/early afternoon or on the way in to the airport. Red Lot STILL isn't open so spotting is looking doubtful. The guy I had talked to said that the lot was due to open "soon", but that was 3 weeks ago. Russ, does your friend at GOAA have any idea when/if they're opening the Red Lot back up?

Since this is practically a good 5 minute car ride for me, I'm also looking forward to going.
I've looked through the AI-2009 site and it does leave me a bit confused when it comes to admission. Like For admission, do we have to order our passes in advance, or can we pay at the door?

Yeah thats their excuse to say "Yes, we are allowing photography". You can't see sh*t from there unless you have the Hubble Telescope for a lens.

No problem. I just hope to get most of the models finished by then to bring to the contest. I'm hoping to bring at least 20 models.

in the Florida sunshine. Details, we want details!!!!!! What's hot, what's new, what specials are out there. Pictures, we need pictures!!!

I had a pretty good time for the first day of the Trade show, got to meet a few people, got some good things, pretty much full experiance (with photos of what I bought) here:
Some of mah buys from AI 2009. Might Go back tomorrow for a bit more. Certainly have a few more dollars I don't mind parting with.

I'll be there tomorrow. Gotta pick up Jorge at MCO first and then probably some spotting, and then on to the show! I'll definately have my camera with me...battery is charging as I type.

Awesome, I'm likely going to be there tomorrow, and hopefully so will Paul (Rammstein). There is also an interesting Eastern Flight 401 exhibit at the show, including the FAs that survived, a passenger who survived and the only known piece of luggage to be recovered (a samsonite) as well as a piece of wreckage.

Went yesterday. Got to meet Crownvic (met him about 10 years ago too) and Bob from Sky's the Limit. Some guys were there from Gemini too. Wish I made more money as I would've snapped up the AV200 Delta 747-400 and Inflight200 Saul Bass United DC-10. I had to settle for the Phoenix 1:200 Boeing Roll Out 787-8.

Hello all! I just got back myself today and hope to post pictures soon. I entered a bunch of models in the contest and hope those who came enjoyed viewing of models and even two model airports! There was even posters and lots of pictures this year.
