I'm planning on going to the Denison show.

Thanks for the heads up. I will probably make the FoF visit at Love next weekend.

Ms. Cone and I made it out to old Perrin Field this afternoon. I really enjoyed it. The $12 fee is good for all three days of the show, so I'll be going back on Wed. My CRS kicked in before we headed out, I forgot my camera. We got to climb through the B-24 and the B-17. I'm down to 175 lbs now, but I still found it very tight on the walk way through the bomb bays.
Everyone of the crew and staff that I talked to was very helpful and friendly.
