If you live within 100 miles of Washington state's capitol, Olympia:

The "Gathering of the Warbird" event happens on June 17-18. Two days of wall to wall aircraft.

40-50 real vintage WWII aircraft!

It put on by Olympic Flight Museum (ofm@olywa.net) for info, or drop me a line, I'll e-mail you the flyer.

Heck you may even see me at my PC flyin' "Aces High", you never know!

Well, I dunno, I live down here in Oregon across from Longview, WA. and if I can get past my fear of the big city, load up the pack horse with fresh beaver pelts for trade, sharpen my axe, and find a clean flannel shirt, why I just might make it.

I developed this fear of you city fellers after livin in Los Angeles for 5 years, and Seattle for 5 years before that.

I'll certainly be there along with a large contingent from the Cascade Warbirds Association.  Should be a great time if the weather holds out!

Okay, here's the plan for the airshow meet:
Saturday, June 17th, high noon (12:00pm) at the beer garden.

I'll be the guy with a shaved head, though I will be wearing a brown B17 hat, sleeveless shirt, with 3 small tattoos on my arms.  Hows that for a description? Hehe.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!

I emailed all of you that  had a email address in your posts.

Bingo!  Family life does  that  to you!  Though I wasn't a true  'biker' in the sense of the word, I did have a very 'violent' past...lets just say that you don't want to see me with a couple too many shots of tequila in me...hehe. (However, you won't find me on America's Most Wanted!)

I had a gun pulled on me 3 times, had  a .32 fired at  me at point blank range (good thing the end user was drunk, I had  powder burns on the side of my face, it was >< close) and have used up 8 of my 9 lives. Thanks God the testosterone has calmed down!  Ah, well, the joys of bartending  when I was going to college!)

Well... IMO, being a biker wasn't all that funny,  least not in the '70's.

BBGUNN,
Which B17? Confederate?

Guys, I'm going to be staying at the Millersylvania State Camp ground, so Sat. evening you're all invited  to the campsite for a BBQ, bring your own meat/beer.  I'll have  a nice campfire going and we can fill each other with virtual airbattle roadkill.

Cya's there!
