Flite Fest 2016 Volunteers

.... but Andre mentioned he had AT&T service out there when he was over there last month, ....

THAT right there is GREAT news because my AT&T cell service was horrible there last year. Verizon wifi hotspot was fine but my cell was almost non-useful at all. Curious if he hit it on a good day when the winds were blowing right or if AT&T actually put up some new antennas. Being out of contact from work for that long is just painful.

Looking good but a new request!

Good morning you super bunch of volunteers.

We've been filling the gaps nicely. Thank you.

I still have some big openings I need to fill and today a new role was created.

FPV Support.

If you are interested in helping out with the FPV events please drop me a note andre@flitetest.com

I am looking for 2 bodies per shift but would prefer not to juggle current shifts.

Thank you.

Andre.

Andre,

Can you post the latest and greatest volunteer PDF.

In case we have trouble deciphering it...where and when are the gaps in coverage?

Thanks.

 

[Andre]

As requested this is the current roaster.

What would you help with at the FPV line? I might be able to take an extra shift if needed.

 

[Andre]

Drop me an email andre@flitetest.com

Far easier for me to track requests that way.

About the 13th

I was looking at the schedule and I am going to be there for the Wednesday volunteer meeting. I wanted to know if we can set up our tent area on Wednesday since we are going to be there or do we have to wait until Thursday? I would prefer not to park at my Hotel with a trailer. (sounds like a contradiction but I rented a U-Haul trailer for the planes and rented a camp space)

Thanks

I slept in a u-haul last year.

I would consider doing that but I need a regular hotel room and the fun of camping wore off a few years ago

Currently sitting in jfk, waiting for my connecting flight.
Yes, that means they let me into the country... again.
I will be amongst you soon. As soon as i sleep off my jetlag, that is.

Excellent! Tomorrow is my only day of work for the week. My wife and I will be there Wednesday afternoon. See you then!

Good luck on your night drive. Don't push yourselves too much.

I arrived at the Hotel some time around midnight after 40 hours or so without proper sleep, though I nodded off on the plane and at the terminal a few times.

I probably won't be doing this again. While I arrived safely and without incident I was pretty much done by the time I arrived.
Accidentally pulled up to the back parking lot at first, got pretty upset when I found the door of the entrance hall locked.
Luckily I decided to do one last circuit of the house before resigning myself to sleep in the car.
Now, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of fighting a migraine attack later I think I'm good to go.

See you all on wednesday.

 

[Andre]

Safe travels!
