2017 LA rally

[juanprado]

This is a wide open air show to the general public. In my conversations today, it appeared background checks will not be required. There will be 1000's of folks there.

I'll probably be there in a CUCV + trailer or M925 + trailer. Historically, most folks have to head out early on Sun to return home, so a Sunday convoy and display may be iffy.

For the park, I had to dig into the LA statutes to get the park rules. Pets, firearms and alcohol are allowed with some restrictions in the park. There are prohibitions about selling stuff in the park, so we'd probably have to get written permission from the park manager for the swap meet. Should be no issue.

Personally, I would not attempt to bring pets, firearms or alcohol to the air show on the base.

 

[juanprado]

Absolutely no go with firearms or booze on air base! Quick way to visit a brand new state of the art under utilized lock up (jail) on the Miss River in Plaquemines Parish.

I did not formally ask as I figured swaps/donations would be among "friends" and friends can give each other "gifts/donations" to keep things simple.

if anyone want to commit to coming lets get a number count and reserve some spots soon

Marty, you are in. No 100% original requirement or anything like that.

I made the formal ask in writing Fri. Just waiting for the official ok dokie

Woo who, they'll let me in too! LOL

Hey guys how did I miss this? This sounds great, but have a question about the static display will we be there continually or come in before show and leave after each day? Also did y"all ask about us just doing the complete rally at the base? Never been to Bellchase but most bases could and will accommodate functions like us.

i wish we could spend the whole weekend there. juan has asked but no reply back from those in charge. we need everyone to chim in with more thoughts on which direction to go

 

[winfred]

i wanna hit the meet/greet swap friday if thats on, and ill will be watching when fat albert does the jato roll out whatever day thats on, beyond that i am down for amusement as i am taking my vacation to attend

 

[juanprado]

I have official word that we are sanctioned and welcome to participate. We will be allocated runway/tarmac space so will need you guys to keep replying and letting me know you are going and what mv/trailer you are bringing. We are welcome both days.

I suspect you will have to convoy in and will not allow stragglers in separately but you could leave early if needed. Work in progress and I will keep us up to date as developments happen and policy(s) are set. This is as new to them as to us. Joint effort

Logistics of when and where to meet and security checks are to be worked out.

Jeff,
I did not ask for space there as I figured they are beyond busy to host and let us camp there. They do have a small rv lot but anyone with a military id can camp there and I suspect they would not give that space out on a prime weekend which is a huge draw for them nationwide. The base is small and primarily reserve & Guard components from all branches and homeland. Not a huge active duty presence day to day I think. Maybe we can work on that for next air show if everything is a positive experience for everyone.

I have reserved 81 camp site with electric I'll set up a couple tents on it for us to get under and around. I'll bring my portable cooking gear and a coffee pot. we are getting close and need some imput on who is coming

 

[profo]

Juan as I read their website they have 7 pavilions at the park 5 medium and 2 larger and count me and Amy in. Are the camper sites big enough for my 931 with a semi trailer behind it?

I'm afraid I and the CAMO Crew are out of the picture this year.

I have to move my entire business as the State is selling the property we currently occupy and things will get really tight really soon. I've got it all under control but there is just no "play time" available.

You might have to unhook the tractor and park it next to the trailer as I don't think it has enough depth for both. Standard RV type driveway.

"Never a Dull Moment" in this world.

Good Luck with all that, Mr. PB.
