Airliners International 2014
 

ROLL CALL..whos in?????

Okay its early but what the heck...great venue..allow enough time for the tours especially Victorville and Mojave. The last time this show was held in LA was 2004 and it was incredible..The DC-3 sightseeing flight from Hawthorne airport was worth the trip alone. We took off headed towards the coast and on down to Long Beach and back over inland for a landing back at Hawthorne..Great viewing from In and Out Burger and the view from El Segundo Hill is also excellent...Sadly the Proud Bird Restaraunt will be shut down and out of business..It will be sorely missed :sad: :sad: :sad:

Ill be there at the Gemini Jets tables look forward to it!

This could be one of the last and best shows. I hate to travel anywhere during prime boating season, BUT this may have to be considered. The last show I went to was Portland and we spent 90% of that zooming up and down the Columbia watching airliners blasting off out of PDX.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I'm definitely in! Didn't know Proud Bird was shutting down...bummer.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Plans are to go for 3 days as of now. I think it would be great to get together in the evenings for food and drink with the DAC/Wings900 folks!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

By starting this thread, I think crownvic is now the official DAC activity coordinator while we're in LA. :)

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I am in for this.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

No Ill leave that up to you...Ill have a full plate:):)

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I'm definitely considering purchasing a table for this show. Been to a few AI shows in the past ('96 MSP, '98 SEA, '01 MIA, and '12 MEM), but only ever as a guest. Never been a vendor before. Given that AI is finally in a big market again, I may have to pack up my profile art and see if I can sell a few!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Wish I could go… :cry:

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

coming as every year from Germany to see you there :) :) :)

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I loved AI2009 when it was held in Orlando. Got to meet some of the faces around the forums too, and boy, I was able to expand my collection significantly too.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to go to another one of these shows again. Like the Train shows I have been going to for the last 5 years, usually something I could buy and some great folks to have a chat with.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I'm in......now just how many tables will I need??? My wife says all of them.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

You guys better get your tables soon...

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

So are you saying that your wife would love to see all your models sold at the show? hee hee! Cheers! T7 :D

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

What are the dates for this show? DP

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Can't wait to attend- L.A.'s a hoot.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I'm going and I even reserved 2 tables. Waiting to see how much crap I can sell to Russell :D

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I found www.rentalburro.com, will be making a grand entrance with Yuri.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

your simulator to start and then your Ferrari next...Im done LOL

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

time to resurrect this thread! we are drawing nearer...

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Yes indeed! Get them tours posted AI!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

and the awesome news is the Proud Bird will remain open!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I'm actually going out a day early just for some extra time...gotta fit the show in somewhere!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

its drawing closer....

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Sadly, I gotta sit it out and mind the store. Kam and Nick never seem to take a weekday off.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Weekday off? How about rarely even a weekend day off. :eek:

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

In that case I'd be happy to look after that boat for you!

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

No problem Todd. Its parked at the local storage unit here for the next couple weeks but the view is great! Barbed wire fence, gravel, some RVs, etc. There may even be a warm beer or two in the fridge.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Really bummed I can't make it to this show, one of these days I'll go to my first Airliners International show.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

I keep lobbying for a AI show in LAS ...to no avail.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

One week to go.....getting excited.....

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

For tuesday and wednesday what does "tour only " mean? Thanks.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

no access to exhibition room til Thursday...outside offsite tours only those days

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Question for crownvic:

Is this show considered the biggest in North America or the globe?

Thank you, T7

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

yes and yes

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

The rinky-dink UK shows would be embarrassed.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

That settles it! I really now have to see how our American neighbors put on a show. Also, was told by the staff at YYZ AV world that it's a definite must do = check out a airliners collectibles show in the states to really experience this hobby at it's finest. What better than AI 2014 in Los Angeles! I will check with ATC (wifey) to see if departure is granted from London to LAX for this friday. Cheers! T7

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

negative...Gatwick show in March is very good...

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

What a shame that I moved away from LA last year. I am in SF now, but have work this week. I went to a collectable show at LAX last summer and was underwhelmed. I hope this one is better and comes to SFO or BOS soon.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Would've loved to gone, but don't have the time nor money. Hope one day it takes place in either NYC or Boston.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Just curious = was that 2013 LAX show associated with Airliners International?

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

^..No Airliners International was in Cleveland last summer. That was a bummer, airfare to CLE was exorbitant and the show turn out was rather small.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Hmmm. We are talking Cleveland right? I wonder if the choice of city had some impact on attendance? How many side trips can you do in Cleveland, Ohio? Compared to a city like Los Angeles. Cheers! T7

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

If I am going just for the selling portion tomorrow, can I pay at the front? I have been researching this, but cannot seem to find my answer.

Re: Airliners International 2014
 

Looks like you should be fine for just attending on July 10th with your $7 at the front door/entrance.

Great day at the show! Hope to go back tomorrow, and it was great to finally put a face to some of the names on here. True pleasure.
