<RTE_TEXT>I got my 2009 Nats entry packet yesterday. <BR>
I remember last year the deadline almost snuck up on me and I<BR>
nearly had to pay the late entry fee! Yikes!<BR>
One thing you'll notice on this year's is you have the opportunity to <BR>
buy an advance banquet ticket. I've attended two Nats since I started flying again...<BR>
2007 and 2008<BR>
Both years I attended the banquet and both years is was a great time. <BR>
Each year Ron VP has to haul his crystal ball all the way from Florida to tell the <BR>
caterer how many attendees we'll have...usually before the tickets go off sale.<BR>
I don't know how he does it! The advance sales should help him out a lot with this!<BR>
Maybe he'll post something about where it will be this year, etc.<BR>
Another reason to attend is I am going to try, emphasis on the word TRY, to have<BR>
a couple nice door/raffle prizes to give a way. Richard at YS has already promised a <BR>
YS .63 and I'm hopeful some of our other advertisers will be willing to generously donate<BR>
an item or two. The economy the way it is I will do my best. <BR>
If you take advantage of the $5 off the entry if you send in before March 1 it will be like<BR>
you get the banquet ticket for $15!<BR>
;-)<BR>
See ya' there!<BR>
