Hell with the others. Im the better date:)

Sure, Newman. We'll see you both there.

I'll post more details in a day or two on when and how we'll all meet up.

Brooke · « **Reply #48 on:** July 14, 2006, 02:52:38 AM »

OK, here's the plan.

I'm going to check with the museum staff to see if I can have tickets waiting for you guys at the admissions desk so that we don't have all wait there for everyone to show. I'll post more info here after I check with them.

Looks like we'll have:

me
Blue Baron
Newman
Newman, Jr.
Silat
Rabbidrabbit

I'll post more details here by tomorrow night.

Damn Yucca, I thought you were at least 40 years old you Douch bag.

Here's the plan.

I will show up at the Museum of Flight at 11:30 am, tomorrow, Saturday, and put admission tickets for folks at the admissions desk. When you show up, go to the admission desk and tell them that a member has left tickets for you there. I'll leave tickets under the following names:

Blue Baron (Johnathon Baron)
Newman (Robin Green)
Newman, Jr. (and son)
Silat (Rick Lewis)
Rabbidrabbit

We can cruise around the museum for a couple hours, then at about 1:30-2:00 pm, I'll be getting a seat for the panel discussion by the fighter pilots. You guys can attend that, or cruise around the museum more. After the panel discussion, there will likely be an book signing opportunity, which I'd like to get in on.

Then we'll go to a nearby restaurant, and I'll buy everyone dinner and beer (well, except for Newman, Jr., who gets single-malt scotch).

In case you need to reach me, my cell phone number is 425-443-3141.

The URL for the Museum of Flight (for directions) is here:

See you all there tomorrow!

Hey Brooke, I think Newman Jr. will be staying home. Regardless, I'll pay his way so don't worry about his ticket.

SALUTE!

Newman

Brooke · « **Reply #52 on:** July 14, 2006, 11:54:33 PM »

Newman, no problem. There will be a ticket there for him if he is with you -- it's on me.

Brooke · « **Reply #53 on:** July 14, 2006, 11:58:40 PM »

Folks, I will be at the admission area at 11:30 am. If you miss meeting up with me there, then I will be at the F4U in the "personal courage" area at 12:00 for meeting up.

I have blond hair, a pony tail, glasses, and I'll be wearing a black shirt (long sleeve, button up) and blue pants.

Here's a picture of me:

Also, call my cell phone if you can't find me.

Newman · « **Reply #54 on:** July 15, 2006, 01:30:25 AM »

<<< That's what I look like..

CYA Tomorrow

SALUTE!

Newman

Brooke · « **Reply #55 on:** July 15, 2006, 03:22:00 AM »

Newman said Mag1c might be able to join us. That would be great. I'll get a ticket ready for him, too, in case he can make it.

Silat says you never call him anymore Brooke

Have fun today, wish I was there.

Well, we'll just have to sort that out today in person, me and Silat!

I wish you were a Seattlite as well and could join us. I'll miss Rosco, too -- but we'll do it again at some point.

Newman · « **Reply #58 on:** July 15, 2006, 11:20:06 PM »

I'd like to thank Brooke for a great afternoon at Boeing Museum of Flight! There is a new addition since I last visited dedicated to WW1 and WW2 Fighters, including a Ki43 and Yak9

We were also privy to a discussion with James "Stocky" Edwards, Canada's leading Ace in N. Africa flying P40's and later Spits, Hamilton "One Slug" McWhorter, who flew F4F's off the Ranger in N. Africa. "One Slug" later became the first US Ace in the F6F. Rounding out the discussin was Herbert Ross, a P38 pilot who fought in N. Africa and later Italy.

Listening to these vets was an experience I won't soon forget!

Getting to walk through the Concorde was interesting as well.

Thanks so much Brooke, for the opportunity

We'll do it again, and hopefully a few more of us can make it.

SALUTE!

Newman
