Get back on that horse Steve!

See you there.

Does anyone know if you can fly in to the splash-in at FA08 (Fantasy of Flight) on the Thursday (i.e on to the runway rather than the lake)?

I plan to arrive on the Thursday and it would be good to stop off there before going to Lakeland.

Have any of you ever camped in the General Aircraft Camping area before? If so, how far away are the showers, food, etc? Also, are you kicked out of your camp site during the airshow?

PS I wish being in the process of building an RV qualified one to park in the HBC area.

The regular GA camping site is located just off of rwy 9 (both sides)--try to park on the south side. From the gate to the showers is about 100 yards--it depends when you arrive as to how close you'll be to the gate but figure on another 100 to 200 yards. IF what you're flying is old enough to qualify as Vintage A/C, then you can park on the other side of the field (by rwy 5) and be close to everything. Not sure what the qualifier is for Vintage but I'd guess at early to mid 70s.
If you're by rwy 9 you would have to evac for T-Birds, not sure in Vintage area.
