Don, thanks to you and others we boasted seven halftracks at the Camp Delta meet at Tower Park last April. Most we've ever seen by several. So we set a goal to have ten at the 2016 MVPA Convention. I expect it will be difficult to get all your equipment to that show, but I'm getting the...

The EMU-309 UH-1H Huey has not appeared at the Camp Delta meet in CA for many years. This magnificent tribute to assault helicopter companies during the Vietnam war really added a lot. They would like to come back on Saturday April 25, 2015 but need to raise some money to make it happen. We are...

There's also a "Delta Loop" run to the west. This road goes past some marinas and restaurants. It could include a trip up to Isleton, a small delta town. For that matter there is a loop north and west of Isleton that can take you on the two cable ferries across rivers. We'd like to see someone...

Good idea. We could resurrect that road run. A lot of people liked it and it was a nice display in their parking lot. Good food too! All we need is a coordinator to draw up a map or driving instructions and lead it. I can help find a good time on the schedule and advertise it in MVCC News and...
