Wings Over Wayne Airshow...May 12th!!!
Just wanted to remind everyone the Wings Over Wayne Airshow is fast approaching. I have secured the best possible parking anyone could ask for...on the flightline with the aircraft on display! Those of you who attended last year's airshow noticed there were a few car clubs parked out on the flightline and wondered why we couldn't do that also. Well, we can this year! All I need is a head count of who is attending so, I can get all the special events passes together.
It's more or less a car show...no prizes will be awarded but I think it would be nice to show off the rotary!!!
Now the gates open for the general public at 9am...I'm being told by Ground Ops we should plan on being there at 8am so, we can get the cars parked and roped off. Ofcourse this means we get to meet at the CB in Smithfield just off I95. I'm not real sure on a time yet, but we'll work it out. Just remember it's a 30-45 min drive from the CB to the front gate.
Also, we are not sure at the moment if the Blue Angels will attend since they suffered a loss of a pilot at their airshow in SC this past Saturday. More to come...

I am from Fayetteville. I just purchased my 8 a few weeks ago. It is a 04 AT Winning blue GT. I bought it from Rick Hendricks Toyota. It only has 7000 miles on it and is in perfect shape. I have taken a few pics but none worthy to post. I plan on taking some good pics in the next week or so. When I do I will post them. Are there any groups around the Fayetteville area. I would love to go to the track with my 8.

I'm in for the Air show nic. This year, I won't get a speeding ticket 
. If we need to be there by 8, we should probably hit the RMS (rotary meeting spot aka cracker barrel haha) between 6 and 6:30 so we can leave a little after 7. You guys from fayetteville should come on out too. Special parking = photo op

Hanna, you should try and make it out. I've secured space on the flightline for us to park, all I need is a final number of people who plan to attend so, I can get the parking passes together. PM for any questions.

Alright all, looks like I didn't get much support from my car club on the May 12th airshow in Goldsboro, NC. But I have secured 8 spots on the flightline and have 4 cars as of yet to fill them...I'd like now to have just an RX-8 showing at the airshow. It should be a great time...it will be the Blue Angles first show back after their accident in SC and there will be a Pearl Harbor demo and a hell of a lot more!!! If you would like to attend please pm me for all the details!
Current list:

3. Agent of Chaos (Gary)

8s and jets. mmm. If we can manage to get 8 we would have 8 8s.
The last Blue Angels show I saw (NAS Oceana last year) was great. Looking forward to seeing them again. The pearl harbor thing looks to be pretty cool as well (haven't ever seen it before). Here's a linky for anyone who hasn't seen the activity list. The only thing they don't have on the list is our routine stop the the barrel

New RX8 club forum member here...
base of operations is out of Statesville, NC. Sadly, I probably will rarely be there anymore (trying to find a job up in the DC area...), and it's not often that I drive one of our RX-8s out on the street...

actually... just did a quick search, and I do remember that event at VIR. Yes, we were there. I didn't remember it being the GT-live weekend, because we were there for the Grand-Am race.
