    I was cleaning out old brochures collected from Sun 'n fun over the years and noticed that Trade-A-Plane is getting smaller. Here are the differences between 2008 and 2009: 160 versus 128 pages. 2009 is 5/8" less tall and 5/8" less wide. 2008 had glossy outside pages plus some glossy inside - 2009 has none. The prices aren't smaller, however..... John :) -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished. Finish Kit started.

    From: "bcondrey" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    Every year it seems like there are people that show up at OSH and then ask if they can get a site with the big group. If you've been there before it's understandable that it's unlikely that there will be any empty sites near us. The only other option would be to encroach on existing sites which isn't fair to the people that planned ahead. Not trying to be hard-nosed here, but if you want a site with the group and haven't yet sent payment it's time to get into gear. We are now 2 weeks out from actually staking out the sites, meaning that I'll need to have payment in my hands absolutely no later than Friday 7/17.

    Subject: Signs of the times
    Your post dredged up an old memory of a TAP issue prior to the 2000 election, I believe it was a summer issue which ran a 1/2 page ad paid for and by the IRS. It reminded everyone that the date for filing an extension for the 1999 tax year either April 15 or June 15. Anyway the timeliness of the ad was very much in question as well as the venue, until you remember that Al Gore was running for POTUS. Then the government payback for a political contribution makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of johngoodman Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 7:52 AM Subject: RV10-List: Signs of the times --> <johngoodman@earthlink.net> I was cleaning out old brochures collected from Sun 'n fun over the years and noticed that Trade-A-Plane is getting smaller.

    No, that was for real. I thought at the time: Why an ad in Summer for something that was already past but it wasn't too hard to make a probable connection between a campaign contribution and a payback by having the then administrative branch of government place a half page ad. It was after all Tennessee and the POTUS wanna be's home was there. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of johngoodman Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 8:22 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Signs of the times --> <johngoodman@earthlink.net> You're kidding, right? -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished.
