John Savicki was the first day’s winner of our Citizen Blue Angels Skyhawk watch (see pic above).  

The vendor room set up went off without a hitch, plenty of time and very helpful staff that got us all locked in pretty quickly.  No surprises, no hiccups.  This was obviously not their first rodeo.  We were only opened for 5 hours today and business was pretty brisk.  I think tomorrow’s gonna be a ball buster though since lots of folks are traveling today.  One of the highlights of tomorrow is Jim Rotramel’s symposium on air to air missiles; should be very interesting.  

We have TwoMikes, PWMP, G-Force and Mike Grant products at our booth in addition to our normal products we carry.  PWMP stuff will probably all be gone tomorrow and Mike’s stuff is selling pretty well also.  A couple of the highlights I saw were test shots for the 32^nd Eurofighter Typhoon and the BAC Lightning.  Didn’t have time to look at those real close but the sheer size of them was impressive.  I also saw an F-8 Crusader cockpit in 32^nd scale from VMD Studios that looked pretty nice.  Interesting that he’s coupled his booth/products with Squadron MMD which has made a lot of folks around here scratch their heads.

Virginia Beach is Virginia Beach , touristy with lots of good seafood.  I highly recommend Catch 31 which is one of the nicer/trendier places.  Full bar with an excellent wine selection and prices that are not exorbitant.  We ate there the first night we were there and it was really good.  

We spent the previous two days just checking out the local sites and visiting the beach.  We took a high-speed boat ride on the Rudee Rocket here at the Marina .  $18 bucks and they take you out for an hour and show you the sites and look for dolphins (pics attached).
