There will be a gathering of W.W. II flight sim enthusiasts (primarily Warbirds and Aces High) held at the Chino Planes of Fame air museum on the 24th of August, 2003.

The occasion is to celebrate the recovery of Hawk, a Warbirds player, who recently beat the odds against cancer.

All are welcome and we plan on having breakfast first at Flo's at 9:30 a.m.

So far we have a gathering of about 10 players. So come on out, meet others with the same interest, and spend the time talking W.W.II aircraft and flight sims!!!

Btw- Not sure if this post should go here or to the "O Club" so apologies in advance if I got it wrong.

I live in Lancaster here but I know very little about WWII. Only little tid bits I've read here and there. Plus I doubt with my work schedule I'd be able to make it. The planes here keep me busy enough already...

I'm flying out of Chino, I can probably organize rides in lil Cessnas for the ones who wish to spend the extra $. Depending on numbers, I can negociate a killer price per person with the owner.

May be a good opportunity for the ones who never flew to get a feel for it.

Let me know if it's a perk you want to propose to those guys.

B17SKULL12 - Hope you can make it. We have held several of these gatherings before and everytime it has been a blast!

Cobra412 - This gathering is very informal. Just a bunch of players who enjoy looking at airplanes, talking flight sims, and eating breakfast. I think you would like it!

Frenchy - Sounds cool and I will post your offer on the WB thread. Weather permitting I will be flying myself and a coworker into Chino from 29 Palms. I always enjoy flying in there as I took my training there at AIA.

B17Skull12..Only costs are for what you eat at Flo's and your admission into the Chino Air Museum...like Sandman said about $10.
