I think weather is the issue. All day today, and really since Saturday, there has been a nasty, nasty line of storms through middle then South Georgia and now across North Florida. I'm sure lots of potential attendees are watching the weather and hoping.

Walked through homebuilt camping. Very few planes.
As others have suggested, I assume weather prevented some from arriving as planned.

It seems there were less people than last year, definitively less airplanes. Homebuilt camping was pretty bare when I walked through it.
There was a lot of fog yesterday and today so it may be stopping people from flying in.

Interesting that Aircraft Spruce sent an email that there is "special Pricing" on Bose A-20 at the Spruce booth!

Just few airplanes at the Homebuilt Parking. Went just for the day.

Thursday
I flew in today (Thursday) and parked in HBP. We’re only a 40 minute flight away so I’ll return tomorrow (Friday). We’ve camped in HBC before, but not knowing what the new parking areas were going to be like we opted to just fly back and forth.
My observation- a huge improvement with the new digs. Homebuilt parking is easily accessible. Homebuilt camping is just to the north of HBP and the homebuilt hospitality tent that Heidi runs is right on the flight line. We watched the Blues perform while visiting the hospitality tent and it was the best viewing experience we’ve had! Camping is definitely on the agenda for next year.
