I agree with Don October and I would get on back to Lakehurst for a 2 day event.

One problem for dates not in late Spring and Summer is that the
weather in NJ can be cold and/or damp. The hangar leaks with enough
rain, External wind can create real turbulence and drift in the
hangar. Flying conditions are much better in the late Spring through
early Fall. The shorter days also mean less flying time since there
really aren't any lights in the hangar.

Wish I could make it, I've really enjoyed every trip that I've made to
Lakehurst. I'm still looking for a job, so until that happens I have
to stick close to home. I'm hoping to be able to make it to Lakehurst
on Labor Day weekend.
