    need Airventure ticket for morning departure?

    I'm going to fly into Airventure with a friend. We'll be staying at a local university for a few days, and departing in the morning on Friday. Will they let us back in to get my plane, or will it be held hostage for the cost of two full day's Airventure tickets?

    Zulu vs Zulu.2?

    Can anyone tell me how to definitively tell the difference between a Zulu and Zulu.2? I was at Sporty's earlier today looking at the "Zulu.2" that they had on display. The ear cups just said "Zulu", and I couldn't find "2" anywhere. At the time I didn't think to look under the battery...

    Apocalyptic fantasies of flight...

    So I doubt I'm the only one to watch scenes from apocalypse movies, where the freeways are all backed up with cars trying to flee the danger zone, and imagine laughing at the peasants below as I fly away overhead. Anyone else? There are perhaps a few hiccups. How will I get to the plane...
