Record Trials at Tustin Blimp Hanger

[Lee Hines]

To Indoor FF community at large,

We have been working for many months to get a
competition / record trials in March or April 2010.
Approval is still pending.

An opportunity for a small group to have a record
trials on November 23 and perhaps November 24
( just before Thanksgiving ) has come up.

This event could be cancelled if a paying customer
rents the facility. There is risk but it looks good for now.

There are two slots available.
If you are ready to make a record attempt please e-mail one of us.

Also let us know if you are interested in attending the
proposed Mar/Apr 2010 event so that we can plan.

Just wanted to add that, if you haven’t been inside a blimp hangar and have any interest in indoor whatsoever, its a stupendous experience. Do come.
