    Runway closures during SNF

    I've looked everywhere I can think of but can't find it. Can someone point me to the NOTAM that says what times the airport will be closed for arrivals and departures daily during the airshows. I have the arrival and departures procedures NOTAM but it's not listed in there. Thanks.:)

    Oil analysis

    I'm going to look at a Super Decathlon tomorrow that has a low time (260) SMOH. Can you learn anything about an engine from a one time oil analysis. I was thinking about asking for an oil sample and having it checked.

    I'm looking for information from an expired ad that ran about a month ago. If someone has a copy from then and wouldn't mind looking it up for me then let me know and I'll PM the information to you. Much appreciated, Richard

    Charleston, SC

    I'm planning an overnight trip to Charleston, SC for my EAA chapter. I would appreciate any advice on places to stay and things to do and see. Nothing as cheap as a Motel 6 but also not a Ritz Carlton. Something that would be close to attractions. Wives will be along on this trip. Thanks, Richard

    Vacuum instruments

    How many inches of vacuum are required for vacuum instruments to work correctly? I'm having some trouble with a DG that was just installed in January (it was an overhauled exchange). I'm showing about 4.7" on the guage. For some reason I thought it was over 5" a few months ago.

    How does this sound?

    Six five eight Romeo Sierra. I need to go ahead and reserve an "N" number for my Bearhawk. My first choice of 58RS isn't available. I like two digits plus RS but there isn't any other two number combination that's meaningful to me. What think ye?

    Who has the best price on Lowrance 2000C?

    My buddy bought the Lowrance 2000C at SNF for $647. Now after using it on a trip I want one. The best price I can find is $714 on e-bay through Pacific Coast Avionics. Does anyone know of someone selling it for less than $700?
