Bob,
It was your post about attending that day that prompted me to list the events Fox Valley hosts. I've been to some of their dates and the aircraft stuff is a very cool part of RC world. Too tempting for me, though!
The Naperville flying field is 5 mins from my house and those guys are always offering to let me try one of their trainers on a buddy box, but I know if I did that I would be sucked in like a junkie to a crack pipe (sorry for the drug references). I met a guy there who went from "give it a try" to owning 17 airplanes and having a second 2 car garage to keep it all in!
I still think Windy City Jets is the coolest thing I've seen even if they can only fly 200mph at Fox.
There is also a real airplane fly-in event at Clow Airport in Bolingbrook this weekend, again, near my house. We will prolly go watch some of the planes arriving tomorrow ay 8:00am.
