I am just trying to figure out who is planning on going

<b>//edit//</b>
For those of you going, a 2-way radio (like those groovy little Motorolas with the 38 security keys per channel) might not be a bad investment.

Its always a good idea to be able to stay in touch with your base. If you buy them in sets I think you can usually find them for about 20-25 bucks.

I am going, just wateing on my credit card bills to clear up after buying my E-Mag and stuff. As soon as it is cleared then I am signing up. Hope to see y'all their.

I"m trying to make it. need my silly bonus check from work.

I'd like to go, if I can get a ride or someone can fetch me from the airport.

I havn't been able to see what the registration deadline is. Anyone have an idea?

[synreal]

I think JJ is just accepting registrations until the event fills up. With 3 big names as Captains, I doubt there will be room for walkons, so if you want to go, you should sign up ASAP.

Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it. I'm just in the planning stages as of a few days. How big of a pain is it really to fly with all your stuff?

[Muzikman]

I found it near impossible to fly with gear (or atleast the tanks). I would say ship your stuff to the hotel you are staying at. I'll be flying in, and plan on making plans to ship my gear.

I dun know. That's 2 weeks before my wedding. I'm not sure the future wifey would like me playing a couple weeks before.

/me starts planning really good B-Day for fiance so he can play at Shatner Ball.

Really? I've never found it to be a problem and I fly into the states with my stuff at least twice a year. Probably 3-4 trips a year around Europe with it all also...

Just don't call it a gun. Speak to the airline before hand. Pack it in your checking luggage and always be nice and polite about it all. Take a PB magazine with you and never fly with paintballs.

Load: I had no problems taking my tank as check in baggage. If you're running nitro make sure your tank has a gauge to prove that it's empty.

put all your stuff in a lockable "gun" case (offical hard case)

and declair it as a firearm. You should be ok.

at least that's what I did a few years ago.

[manike]

noooo don't declare it as a firearm. It is not! If you do and don't have the right permits they will crucify you. E-mail Warpig and ask for their recommendations I know they put together some info on it all.

Just declare it as a paintball marker.

If you can take the reg off your tank I find that helps. If not just make sure it is empty and that the valve is open.

ok, sorry. I was just saying what I did, but also that was a long time ago too.

I'm shipping mine. so I'm not worried.

Manike,
Have you flown since the Sept 11 happenings? Hell, I had to have them FedEx my swiss army knife back to my hosue after they found it in my check in baggage. Now that the Federal Gov. is taking over airport security in the US, it's going to get worse I think. The one thing I noticed when I few over to Europe at the beginning of the month is how much more laid back security is over there when flying between EU counties. You fly back to the states and you get treated like a criminal.
