Due to Llano being a Mecca for deer hunters, it is strongly suggested that if you are planning on attending and need to book a room that you do so ASAP. Mid-October starts to be a very busy time for local hotels. If you have trouble finding a hotel room in Llano, or desire an alternative, you might try one of the local B&B’s. There are quite few operating in the area. A list can be provided at your request.


Rides to and from the airport and hotels can usually be accommodated by local chapter members. Rental cars can be reserved through Courtesy Car Rental of Llano (325 247 1177) at very reasonable rates.

The temperature in mid-October should be a little more amenable to plastic airplanes and pilots with delicate constitutions, so no excuses!
It has been confirmed that Danny Adams of Aviat Aircraft will be attending the contest this year to help out as part of Aviat’s customer appreciation and support program.  (Thank you Stuart Horn!)  If you don’t know Danny, he is one of the most knowledgeable folks around when it comes to what’s underneath the paint of Pitts and Eagle aircraft.  Danny will be available to have a close look at your airplane, regardless of what you bring to the dance.  Even if you don’t fly in the contest, Danny says that he will be happy to look at your ride, time permitting, so come and take advantage of this great opportunity.
