Warwick Airport Photoshoot

[ar0ck]

I just got off the phone with the manger of Warwick Airport, David McMillan and he said he would be absolutely thrilled if we wanted to take pictures of our cars on the airport property! Now I have been to this airport MANY times as I used to work there for a local EAA chapters annual fly-in and let me tell you it is a very beautiful airport in the rural country located on a lake and in the woods. The only stipulation was that he asked if we could donate some to the local pilots association that runs the airport since this is a privately owned airport.

Now we just have to settle down into a details. It will most definitely be on a weekend. I personally Prefer Sundays as it is not as busy and will make the trip up reasonable. I think Late September Early October is our target area the weekends of the 29th-30th or 6th-7th. We can also meet somewhere in the middle and make a great cruise out of it since it is a very scenic drive up Skyline Drive/Ringwood lake area & beyond.

I will be running a special offer for high quality pictures for this event the details I will work out closer to the event.

So who is in?

[GreatSave9]

Oct 6th-7th I'm in. Little far but I doubt ill get another opportunity like this. I will try my best to make it.

[NJSPEEDER]

sept 29 is the NJFBOA monthly meet as well as being e-town swap meet weekend and i have a 5K race on oct 7th, so the 6th is the only day i can make it.

[79CamaroDiva]

Unfortunately I'm out for both those weekends :( ill be at maple grove sept 27-30 and a music convention the following weekend at javits. Oh well, enjoy the shoot!

[EchoMirage]

im in for either. do you have a rain date planned?

[GP99GT]

ill bring my saturn :lol:

though...i may have a mustang by then

[transamkid]

im in

[bad64chevelle]

Being that I ordered my parts for the car yesterday, there is a *ALMOST* okay chance that I could make it there WITH the car. I wouldnt know until much closer to that time.

[IROCZman15]

i am in - as of now

i have to see when i get my work schedule, and then i can let u know, but i will do a cruise there, and whatnot

i hope i have that weekend off...

thanks for the work aroc

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I might be in for one of the sundays

[firehawk1120]

sixth would be better for me, or the 29th - 30th. Would this be a morning or afternoon shoot??/

[Knipps]

nope won't be home :-x

[JW]

Holy Far and not even in the same state Batman!... I will have to pass but wish it was closer, would be a cool thing to do.

JW :D

[ar0ck]

I discussed some details with LS1Hawk (John) who's original idea this was and we've decided to add a gathering location that is directly in line with our destination and will provide us all a perfect spot to gather and travel in together in a large rolling convoy. I think we are looking at an October date for sure though but haven't made a specific date and from there we can plan a rain/soggy date.

JW, if your in Fair Lawn like your info says your right next door to me and its still only a 45 minute drive from there.

[JW]

I am but only my daily driver car is up here. My trans am is in the garage in Cape May... :(

JW :D

[Rich189]

its a little far away to tell for absolutely sure but ill be there

dont forget that even though people hate to let their cars get wet, rainy/overcast days are often the best to take pictures, ESPECIALLY in the fall. leaf colors get more vibrant, ground is kinda shiny, and theres no direct sunlight or hard shadows..

[ar0ck]

As much as I agree, the field becomes a mud pit going to the lake so it wouldn't be good for our cars at all.

Just a bump still trying to secure a date, need some feed-back! Sundays preferred!

[firehawk1120]

well I alternate sundays with work so the 7th is def. out for me. the ride up skyline dr. is pretty nice too.

[EchoMirage]

we could either meet on the parkway, or on rt. 17, depending on how people plan on getting there. the last rest stop in NJ on the parkway is in ramapo, i think. we could meet there, and then itd be maybe 30min from there to the airport. if people took 17 up, then the thruway, we could meet anywhere on 17.

[ar0ck]

The 17 way isn't very scenic that why I picked that local route.

[79dizZy28]

Any of the 4 days would work for me.

[firehawk1120]

any lockdown on this the wifey wants to go away for a weekend trip and I'd like to not miss this???

[ar0ck]

It might have to be pushed back a weekend to possibly the 14th, but its definitely going to be in early October.

[IROCZman15]

i like cars

[EchoMirage]

cant do the weekend of the 14th at all.....any other options?

[ben arena]

Sounds great- the airport has a nice section by the water, I will be there with my either 70 RSZ-or 80 Z

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Isn't that the Airport that the Peabody Ducks came in at? They made the front page of the Atlantic City Press paper.....VIP Ducks....:rofl: Wish it was a little closer...I'd love to get some shots of my whip there.

OOOPPPSSS...wrong airport...the Peabody Ducks came in at the Woodbine Airport (LOL)

[blackbird615]

man, time is creeping up on us... any word on the final date? early october is inching closer and closer and i'd love to be able to make it to this shoot. in a big old rowdy convoy :nod:

as many as there are on here, i'm sure not everyone is going to be catered to concerning dates, etc... rather than delaying the date decision further, if you can't make it, accept it and let the process move along a little quicker.

and no offence to anyone, this is coming from a guy who may or may not be able to go either :wink:

[ar0ck]

Its kinda my own fault because I'm not sure when I'll have my own car back & ready :-?

[LS1Hawk]

These are the weekends that are not good for me: 6-7 and 20-21.

[ar0ck]

Maybe October 13-14?

[EchoMirage]

i might be able to do 13th, but not 14th

[heavy_chevy29]

ill have to sit this one out. thats alittle bit of a ride for me with my camaro. it doesnt do the best on gas mileage. i could always trailer it up there, but i think that it will be to much of a hassle.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Lets get a date finalized once he gets his car fixed and I want to make my self avaible for this one.

[IROCZman15]

any updates ?

[blackbird615]

so it's lookin' like the 13th or 14th? pick! pick! i need my 2 weeks notice at work to take off!

[firehawk1120]

not for me I'll be in boston that weekend. Oh well taking too damn long as usual to make a decision around here.

[nj96z28]

if u set a date ill be there, my buddy has a 03 vette possibly would like to come

[zuuhlsT/A]

The 13th or 14th works for me. Should have my Hawk back by then. And if not I,ll just cruise up there in Bubba, my 94 GMC daily driver. She's a truck but she's still pretty.:mrgreen:

[ar0ck]

What works best for everyone the 13th or the 14th? I took off both days. I won't have my car for this but I don't want to postpone it any longer unless people can do something the last weekend of October?

[ar0ck]

13th going once going twice?

[firehawk1120]

i'm out for the 13th.

[Jclt12003]

let me know when i'll take a ride over in the good ol cessna 150 and maybe land and hang out for a while. We'll see weather permitting just let me know a few days in advanced. Just looked up the flight path it's only 16nm from sussex airport would take me about 10-15 mins to get there. I would be up for the flight if you guys give me a time. Thanks

[ss01layinwheel]

14TH works for me

[zuuhlsT/A]

14th is good for me

[EchoMirage]

13th, preferrably early, or the last weekend is best. NO for the 14th.

[Ellinikos]

I got surgery next week, but ill still make the trip on the weekend even tho the doc says 3 week recovery ^_^ 13th/14th... pick a fricken date and ill be there

[IROCZman15]

13th and 14th dont work for me . mid day on the 20th and 21st does tho

[79dizZy28]

Both 13th and 14th work for me.

[zuuhlsT/A]

I can do the 21st if that gets more people the chance to go

[ar0ck]

21st still works for me! I'm going to make a post with a poll in it tomorrow.

[EchoMirage]

21st is best for me also

[96z28]

I am deff in...when is it

[IROCZman15]

probably not tomorrow; which is better for me!

[IROCZman15]

any updates ?

[zuuhlsT/A]

21st is out and so is the 28th. gotta work:evil:

[firehawk1120]

hmmm seems this thread went in the crappy FAST...

If the idea resurfaces or if a date is ever selected then let me know.

[Ellinikos]

We jus need to pick a saturday, and if some1 cant make it... tuff luck, its goin b next to impossible to get a date where its perfect for every1

[IROCZman15]

i agree. someone just pick one, whatever works best for the airport too. pick it, post it up, get a sign up list, a time to meet, and rock and roll

[ar0ck]

Sorry nothings happened or been updated about it I've been super swamped lately with a large list of things.

[firehawk1120]

well seeing as you are the photographer pick a day that works for you and let people know. As long as a good number of people are willing to show up then do it. For those of us that may not be able to make it tough luck for us or them. Just make a choice before it gets too damn cold. LOL

[ar0ck]

I threw up another poll so that we can narrow down a date. (http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29643)

[slaptastic]

Any Sunday will do for me. I have stuff planned the next three Saturdays.
