About GonZoville
GonZoville.com, apart from being my personal blog and presence on the web, is also set up to provide various services for the online sim-gaming community. This includes:
- File Sharing – I have installed a nice little script to allow smaller files to be shared. This is perfect for car setups, skins, small sound packs, and video replay files. Every person who is granted an account will have their own file space which they can use as they see fit – as long as it doesn’t get abused.
- Wiki – This is set up to capture all the research information that players gather on their games and the vehicles and techniques behind the games. I need to authorize any authors to give them write access – register and then contact me for authorization.

You are hereby cordially invited to the Air Warrior Pilot Reunion to be held on June 10th – 13th in Indianapolis , Indiana . The Reunion is hosted by Mike “Jordi” Bowman.
I have enough interest that the reunion is a GO for launch !
I will do all I can to help out anyone who is interested in coming but cannot commit at this time.
I am putting together a reunion of those players who had flown at any time Air Warrior in any of its versions.
The guest of honors will be the key members of the Kesmai staff and player representatives.
From Kesmai
Jonathan Baron – Is willing to come.
Kelton Flinn – Is thinking about coming but consider him a “tentative” for now.
John Taylor – Is thinking of coming if a certain potential conflict does not interfere.
Frank Williamson – Would come tomorrow if it were held that soon – A definite will be there !
Player Reps
Steve “Mage” Lackey – He is looking forward to it.
Gary “Moggy” Cooper – he can only commit as a “maybe”
Jeff “Quarters” Hanna – Right now he is free that weekend to attend for a day.
Mike “Dose” Brandsma – Would plan to come but cannot commit to the date this far out.
My feelings are after talking to the guys above is that the more people who plan to attend the greater interest they have in attending.
I have an Air Warrior Pilot Page web site setup.
http://awreunion.myevent.com/
Please fill out the AW Pilot Page even if you are just visiting this site and cannot attend.
We want to know where all of the AW Pilots are at today.
At this time no money has been spent by me to get this going nor is ANY being asked of you.
The travel people at my work have been very gracious to work with me and a hotel to keep the cost down as much as possible.
This is the hotel.
http://embassysuites1.hilton.com/en_US/es/hotel/INDNHES-Embassy-Suites-Indianapolis-North-Indiana/index.do
Right now the room cost is $109 per night. This gets you all of the amenities of the hotel that include a complimentary cook to order breakfast and a Managers reception of complimentary snacks and drinks each evening.
They have free parking at the hotel.
They are also going to include free Wireless internet access in the room ( I am checking to see if that includes wired access in each room ).
Before I sign anything with the hotel I need to get a prelim head count from those that had expressed interest in attending.
I know for some of you the dates will not work. The month of June was the one that had the most number of people who could attend.
Right now I am looking at a CON fee of $100 dollars.
This includes the following.
CON Shirt
Upgraded seating at the Indy Airshow on June 12th ( Saturday )
Banquet Dinner Friday evening.
Con room fees and other miscellaneous fees.
There will be an additional cost for any guest you would want to bring to the Banquet dinner and or the Air show.
Some Extra Add-ons I am thinking of are ( Not sure of the cost yet ) each person can buy them or not . . .
Buy a second CON Shirt.
Buy an Upgraded CON shirt – Baseball type with your handle on the back and your favorite number
AW CON Calendar – It would have the BEST pictures from the con on each month’s page plus each person’s picture on their birthday. It would be mailed to the people who request one.
( For those that could not attend they can also buy the CON shirt and or the upgraded one and Calendar )
I am also thinking if we have enough people interested ( 30 or more at $25 per person ) in having a Monte Carlo night on Saturday.
Each person can take their winnings and buy more raffle ticket for prizes that have been donated.
If enough wives plan to attend I have an offer to a free massage to a lucky person ( I will NOT be giving the massage ! ).
The others can schedule a massage at the same time. There are plenty of shopping areas.
The Children’s museum and Zoo are good for the kids.
The TENTATIVE Schedule would be . . .
Thursday – CON ROOM Setup – meet and great those that plan to arrive early.
Friday – Q and A with our guest on the history of AW, how they all got involved, what they are doing now and any questions you ever had about AW.
Friday night – Banquet Dinner
Saturday – Air show
Saturday night – Fun stuff or Monte Carlo night
Sunday – close up by noon and enjoy what time left we have with each other.
The CON room would be open as early as we are allowed in and close as late until they kick us out.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Please reply back as soon as you can.
If I have already contacted you on this before this is just a reminder then.
Thanks in advance,
Mike “Jordi” Bowman
