2014 Findlay Ohio buy/sell/trade thread

[Speddmon]

I'm at work, Just logged in to see what was up. Had a FANTASTIC time at the show. It was great getting to see everybody again, even gimp.

Made a few good deals, sold almost everything (the few things there were) I took to sell. I took some pics of the cool toys, but until I get to my computer with the card reader I can't get them from the camera yet. I'll do that tomorrow or the next day.

Adam, JP and Kip always remember, Eric isn't nearly as nice of a guy as he appears on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I finally got home at 7:30PM today.......only left at 3:30PM YESTERDAY!!!!!

Gotta say, I had fun even though I think I was awarded the worst luck member of the event.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! has to be given out to Stretch, Gimpy and Kip for all the help.....and to everyone else that helped with my mishap.

Glad to see everyone and to meet more guys also.

You'll have to be more specific, which Eric?

I got back safe and sound. Sorry your truck wasn't playing nicely Nathan. I had a good time seeing everyone again. Can't wait for Haspin and MVPA nationals in Ky. Its amazing how much crap you take to these things, and how much crap you return with! You couldn't swing a dead garden gnome without hitting a SMOKING deal! It was great meeting everyone I hadn't met yet, I love to put names with faces and seeing the "old gang" again.

Sorry I missed you guys but work calls..............

Some flew in a UH60, others conquered their fear of heights and bridges during a bus tour. I'm sure it was exciting for everyone...

And here I thought he was talking about the other one!

Although I missed out on the intimate chats till the wee hours of the morning, I had a great time as well. Always a good time at Findlay.

Got home a short while ago, and got the camera out to view my pics. Here are some of the ones I took. Great time as always!!

And the last few, as well as a short video of one of the chopper flight take-offs right after I arrived...Pretty awesome.

Maybe you can carry your happy arse south in Oct and see some other friends. When I retire I will be adding Findlay to my repertoire.

I only took one lousy cell phone pic.

Here is fastest M108 in the world (and the only one we can think of that actually leaves the yard).

It's owner, Stretch (Jr. Moderator), is seated at the crane controls while loading a Mule on a trailer.

Had a Blast!! Can't wait until next year. The highlight was the huey ride, which I have added the photos below. And remember, somebody rode the short bus so short, that the front and rear tires touched..............

One more.......

Great helicopter ride pics EMD(aka salad shooter), too bad you missed the "money shot".

 

[Speddmon]

You mean that group pose was wasted!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[doghead]

Not wasted(it was still funny as heck), just not captured for reuse(on the inter-webs) which may be best.

 

[EMD567]

If I had known what your deviate mind was planning, I would have gotten the "shot" of the "CRACK" over Findlay. There was so much to take in, both Ferro and I missed the "TWIN ORBS".

Here is just a little video from the Huey ride. High speed on the deck into a climb and bank. This ride was once in a lifetime.
