Disappointed with LDRS this year

I decided at the last minute to drive the 2144 miles round trip to LDRS inNew York. I was only there on Saturday and decided to leave Saturdayevening after seeing the weather forecast for thunderstorms for Sunday.I must be spoiled by the last two LDRSes, particularly Argonia last year.LDRS this year was much smaller than the last two years, I think evensmaller I was expecting. The number of vendors was way down from previousyears. I thought a lot more flyers from the east coast would show upsince many of them can't make the other LDRSes.Rocket launching was at a particularly liesurely pace, not helped byaircraft constantly taking off and landing on the airstrip. Last year wasone rocket taking off after another.I'm just disappointed after the last two years. It was still a hugelaunch by any measure. I'm glad I went to see flyers and vendors Ihaven't talked to since last year.Brian Elfert

I went to Mud Island yesterday. No B-17 there. As was noted earlier, it is at Millington being restored.
