Scratch me.  I lived in Olympia, Washington about ten years ago.  I now reside in Central Florida.  TOO FAR to drive... :cry

Seattle has the excellent Museum of Flight.  Besides its wonderful collection and exhibits, it has periodic panel discussions by WWII pilots, which have been fantastic.  (In summer, the Collings Foundation visits, where you can buy half-hour flights in their B-17, B-24, B-25, and P-51, but this is sounding like a get together sooner than that.)

30 minutes north of Seattle is the Flying Heritage Collection of WWII aircraft that are taken out and flown from time to time.  That's the place where the Me 262 new builds are, as well.

Who should we add to the following list of folks within driving distance of Seattle?

Wedge1126
Bear76
Babalonian
Nemisis
Yeager

Cool, sounds like things are getting set up. I won't be able to make it anytime before next spring (no breaks from school in the fall).

Seattle to LA is a healthy 21 hour drive without lengthy stops.

Naaa, it's not.  If I remember, it's only around 4 hours from LA to SF, and I've done Seattle to SF in 8-9 hours.  No problem.  :aok

It definitely sounds like it has a chance of happening. I guess we could start a contact roster via email or whatever is easier.
