Leo asked me to post directions and expected costs.

I've learned over the years that emailed 'commitment' doesn't mean folks will follow through.
Jeff and I will be there. The total cost is $325. So we will split $162.50 if no one else shows up.
Five people have committed, so that would be $65 if they all show up.
I have had a dozen express interest - so costs could be as low as $27 each. I just don't know.

Directions: Hanger three is located at 909 Pacesetter Drive.
It is directly next to Chanute Air Museum and is bounded by Arends Drive, Pacesetter Drive, Cingular Way, and Aviation Center Drive. Parking is right next to the hanger, on the Aviation Center Drive side.

Getting to the hanger from I-57, exit at 136, head east to Rantoul. Head south on 45. It veers west - you want to continue straight on South Century Blvd. Turn east on Flessner Ave. It ends at Aviation Dr. or Pacesetter drive - Veer left at Pacesetter. You will go past the Chanute Air Museum. Turn on Arends (Hanger three will be on your left now) and it curves and becomes Aviation Center Drive. Park by the hanger to unload early.

There is a double door that opens direct into the hanger. I'd like to keep that closed after 8am.
The alternative entrance is off to the northeast and opens into the lowbay hanger.
This should not disturb the air inside the main hanger.

Hope to see many folks there.

Regards.
