Pullstart 62,841 #1 Posted May 31, 2023 Mrs. P has some work meetings after I would like to leave for the show. I found Hagerstown and Harrisburg under an hour from the fairgrounds. Anyone with experience with either? I figure if I can find a flight under $300, it would be a wash from driving another vehicle, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,436 #2 Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Hagerstown is a great little airport, very close to I-81. Free parking, but you won't need that if you pick her up. About 45 minute drive to the show. Harrisburg is bigger, but about an hour away. Edited May 31, 2023 by rmaynard 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,079 #3 Posted May 31, 2023 Go to Hagerstown. Unless you feel like battling tractor trailers on 81 for a few miles more! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,547 #4 Posted May 31, 2023 Can't you rig up a WH aircraft out of some of those extra frames and engines? Think two suburbans on each wing and a couple 953s down the middle... 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hagerstown is right off I-81 at an Amazon warehouse. Battling tractor trailers either way. But Hagerstown is a much nicer airport.

Keep us posted on prices Kev. Just for S & Gs I Expediaed tickets for round trip from Madison to Harrisburg. Couldn't get into Hagerstown. 425 clams. Gotta feeling rental car, hotels & food gonna make it a no go tho. Fixed income Squonky says. Edited June 1, 2023 by WHX?? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Newbie 7,069 #13 Posted June 1, 2023 @WHX??… I looked that up too. That’s why I said “It wasn’t as bad as I thought “… I at first thought it was referring to a body part !😆 So no worries here at all… I am not easily insulted, and I don’t think that’s what you were saying. I know I get on here and poke fun at people, especially Pullstart, Eric, Kevin and a few others, and when I do that I am opening myself up to be poked back. I think this forum is absolutely full of great people! 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #14 Posted June 1, 2023 No worries Neubs ...I'll insult Kev anyday and Sylvia takes insults quite well too ... along with Squonky, RJG and EB ... well EB he's on an insult level of his own due to color blindness and not having a choice WORKING round hood. We prefer to call it ribbing tho. 45 minutes ago, Horse Newbie said: I am not easily insulted Don't worry about that either we'll make sure we cure you of that too... 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,734 #16 Posted June 1, 2023 Hagerstown is more of a general Aviation airport. Very nice but I didn't see any commercial flights. my other hobby, military vehicles, has an annual meet at the airport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other thoughts: - depending on timing, she might meet you at an airport along your route and finish your drive to the show from there -- Pittsburg? - connect with someone who drove and is staying at a place near whichever airport you pick to see about hitching a ride from the airport to the show 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,841 #19 Posted June 6, 2023 I THINK that I’m going to try to just get this blue oval car in the shop running (needs an engine) and maybe just send her down the road with it. Nothing time wise is paying off, and I might need the trunk space anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
