>Hey Guys June is coming up pretty fast. Here is the email I sent out 
>earlier. After some clarification we were talking about having a 
>lunch event on Sunday June 5 and those who wanted could stay for the 
>live demo on Monday. The Monday demo will be kicked off by both the 
>NASA and FAA administrators. Phil Boyer will speak to introduce the 
>technical demo and we will have a few other folks. Including Jim 
>Fallows.
>At any rate it would be great to have Velocity's parked on the ramp. 
>I need some idea if you are coming but it is open to the public. If 
>someone would like to arrive on Saturday i can arrange that and you 
>can be my guest at a hangar party that night.

>>Dear velocity Owners
>>
>>Year before last (2003) we had some plans for a Velocity Fly-in to 
>>be held in Virginia. The fly-in was cancelled due to Hurricane 
>>Isabel's pending arrival. Unfortunately Isabel made it. I am still 
>>cleaning up around the house.
>>In my real job I work with NASA and the FAA on the future 
>>technologies and procedures that will enable a Small Aircraft 
>>Transportation System SATS) in this country. That is the ability to 
>>have on-demand point-to-point transportation using small aircraft 
>>and small airports. Yeah I know that is something we already do. In 
>>this case we are trying to make it so that the other 99.5% of the 
>>population could also do it at somewhere a reasonable cost.
>>I use my Velocity in much of our public display and outreach activities.
>>This SATS project ends this year with a demonstration in June in 
>>Danville Virginia. The first day is a fly-in with the FAA 
>>sponsoring a Wings seminar focused on "Glass Cockpits" the entire 
>>techno exhibit will be open and it is all free. As I am somewhat 
>>responsible for this deal I would be able to coordinate some 
>>additional activities if a bunch of Velocities were to arrive.
>>The details about the demonstration are at http://www.sats2005.com. 
>>This is going to be a pretty neat event for the public and the 
>>government folks and is also a good reason to fly to Danville.
>>I am looking for some indication of interest. I realize this is 
>>only applicable to those of us on the east coast but if you think 
>>you might want to attend please do If I can get a count we can plan 
>>some specific Velocity activity.
>>You can contact me directly at the From e-mail
>>Check out the other SATS websites for more information.
