a few spots have them but you'll need to be there early to get one of those spots. You'll likely need to bring your own.

Yep, bring your own. We bring The Claw. It works great but, dang, it's heavy!

Mr. Bower,
Save the 8 lbs weight, use mine.
I will bring an extra CLAW set up you can use since I will be picking up my engine on the way home from 3M0. It just wasn't ready in time to make the trip this year.
Just look for the plane that's not there.
FWIW, there are approximately 10-12 permanent tiedown spots @ 3M0. There are plenty of additional parking spaces along the runway.

Was just looking at the pic I took and I guess this is much different than the one in your sig 
Here it is maybe someone else knows who it is. It was very easy to spot in the sky
Also this other plane was there and I forgot what they said it was but I was told it was the only one of its kind.

Still getting avionics installed, so 'twernt me. That's a 170, but mighty fine example of the breed. Did it have a for sale sign in the window?

Steve,
Thanks again for the tiedowns. Saved my bacon. Now I've got to figure out whether we will go to all the same events or if I need to buy a set myself.

Isn't that second one the plane that was restored after something like 70 years? I think it was actually a Boeing, carrying passengers and mail but I could easily be wrong about that.

Make sure to remember your tie-downs for 2010! Although it doesn't get windy often, we can get some pretty gusty winds during storms. There was a gust of 80mph close by on friday. It's first come first serve for the tie-downs up front. We have two sets of tiedowns unfortunately amongst the chaos, we forgot them but for future reference, if anyone needs a set especially if you know you'll be arriving late friday or saturday just remind us before we leave.

Nope, that's not it. Fairly similar though!

Both!
Of, course if we go to all the same events I'll need to use my own....ha!
I did forget to collect the $250 deposit when you landed....so you won't be getting that back.
