2nd Annual Kalamazoo Airzoo Meet
« on: December 23, 2008, 04:46:39 PM »
The day will be February 28th, 2009.   Museum opens at 9am.   We had a blast last year and this year we know where we're headed afterward.   

Last year we had about 12 show up and they did not regret it.   If the day is open come on by!   WWII Veterans are always there to share stories.   Last year, I chatted with a fellow who flew under Gen. Chenault and regaled us with P-51 tales (he alone flew the 51-B, D, 47 and 38).   There was also a B-17 pilot who has been confined to a wheelchair since being shot down and lackluster German Hospital care while a POW.

I was there last year but all of ya was gone.  Duhasst and I still had a blast.  The simulator was very fun and Duhasst managed to find an airfield and setup a vulch but no one was upping.

We'll be there by 9am and probably do what we did last year.   Get there, look around til about 3pm.   Then this year, we'll ALL (I still feel like crap LyeEL) eat at Chili's afterwards and break off unhappily around 6-7pm.   

I'm pretty sure these are the folks showing up:

4XTCH
SheGotYa
Nghtmare
badger8
LyeEL
myself (I'll probably have a minimum of 3 in tow myself)

I was hoping to get up there with you all this year but I have the Indiana State Dart Tournament to attend too.  Hope this thing will get bigger every year.

PM me your band info.   Wife and I get bored, we'll check you out!    One of buddies in my Jeep club is a good local band called "Treatment Bound".   I always enjoy broadening the musical horizon.
