Date to be determined. Let's see if we can get this rolling this time.

I'll apply way in advance for a permit so we can do a photo shoot (with the old planes in the background - Alan bring that DSLR/ Sigma) and be there without being hassled by the rangers/ LEOs.


Set to Sat. Mar. 23rd 12PM - will confirm or change as we get closer.

************
There are a lot of people clicking the thread but only a few posting/ saying they'll come.
What do we need to add: girls? hotdogs? sponsors (wheels, detailing...)?

Here is the web site of the The Floyd Bennett Field.


Feb 20 2013 update:
The person to speak with for permits is at (718) 338-3454.
I just got off the phone. Recap:

The nice Hangar with the old planes was damaged by hurricane Sandy and they do not know when it will be re-opened.
I described our intent: 20-30 BMW owners showing up and parking in one area next to each-other to form a non-commercial gathering.
One, a couple or a several people may have a camera and will be snapping a few shots of the cars.

Answer: NO permit is required so long as:
we do NOT "set-up" the area we use: canopies, tables, grills, generators, models, projectors, sound system etc.

If we cross that line and we are spotted = problems.
For info: if we wanted/ needed a permit, there would be fees + 2 weeks processing + insurance + filling-out a form which amongst things asks for the SS# of the person organizing the event. No interest on my part.
So there you have it.
