Chattanooga Air Show

[ruttco]

I did some looking around on the net and found no information about Chattanooga having an airshow this year. Are we not having air shows here anymore?

Ask Morty Lloyd. I'm sure he can tell you when the next one is planned.

I heard that it is going to be in 2008 or 2009 before we have it again. Not sure why, though.

I worked at the air show in 2005. It was fun It's a shame they didn't have it last year.. I can't believe they won't have it this year either.

Fat Albert (Of the Blue Angels) was awesome with its Jet Assisted Take Off

My wife got suckered into volunteering at the last one. The first day she was appointed to handle the "till". The next day they made her "Manager" and treated her like shit at the end of the day.
She told me on Saturday she handled nearly 80k and Sunday she turned in over 110k. They told her her booth was the LOWEST grossing. All she got for the trouble (nearly 25+ hours) was a piece of paper, T-shirt and 4 free passes.

Someone from the event said they did not make what they expected and maybe even lost money.

*Grin* I actually got paid for my work It was cool. I'd do it again if they ever show up again....

Pay me and I will work.
But talking to a volunteer like they are beneath you while they are making you 190K in 48 hours and you have 20 other booths raking in that or more. KMA.

It's not unusual; the staff from Riverbend was volunteering at the H.O.G. Rally year before last on the Riverbend site on Riverside, and their paid staff was so rude to Karen and crew that I actually intervened and said every single thing those sweet ladies wanted to say, but couldn't. GOD I hate bullies. I entered in as polite intervention, escalated to being a smiling smart-ass to make the point not yet received, then just let them have it when it still didn't 'compute'.

I made friends for life with the Volunteers, and it made it difficult when I found one ejected onto I-24 months later. Volunteers should be treated like ROYALTY when at least competent in their duties, and those being paid that treat them any less should themselves be treated like the elitist scum that they are. It's another reason I enjoy my role as 'Karma'...but I digress.


Fuck the Airshow.

Thank you Shot,
Air Show is run by the same bunch of assholes. I may pay my money to go to both events. But I'll be damned if I give them any of my time again.

Didn't we have an air show in 2002 and then again in 2005? If so, then maybe the next will be in 2008. Kind of like the McRib sandwich. Just bring it around every once in a while so people don't get burned out on it.

[Jay]

I don't know about 2002, but there was one in 2005

Hmmmm, never did like the McRib sandwich.........tasted bloody awful in my oh so humble opinion
