Title: Colorado AH'ers....
Post by: Wlfgng on October 17, 2001, 01:48:00 PM: If you live in or close to Colorado, I'm interested in hearing from you.
Actually, I'm trying to organize some kind of get-together.
All intersted parties please respond...

P.S.
It helps if you like to ski/board.

Actually, 95% of the Buccaneers are in or around Colorado Springs, CO. We meet at least once a month for a briefing (and shooting the breeze) at a local restaurant in conjunction with a squad-nite mission. If you’ll send me an e-mail, I’ll let you know the next time we meet. You’re welcome to come meet and dine with us. Later in the evening, when we run our mission, we would be happy to have you join us as a “guest” pilot. After you’ve flown with us a few times, you may be offered squadron membership if you express a desire. We’re kind of picky, as we try to fly our missions very historically correct, with proper formation and radio discipline. We like to have fun, but we also want pilots that are serious about things when we’re doing our squad-nite missions.

If on the other hand, you just want to set something up like a mini-con, we can talk about that too.

Post by: jarbo on October 18, 2001, 09:41:00 PM: I live in Colorado. Maybe we could set up one night in the near future a mission all the colorado folks could join in on. Any thoughts?

Post by: Preon1 on October 21, 2001, 10:25:00 AM: Colorado mission sounds cool. If there is an interest, we could set up a mini-con one saturday this Spring here at beautiful camp USAFA. (I've already set up a number of dates next semester where we will have control of a VERY large room)

Also, provided we find a CM for a historical scenario, it would be cool to have all the Colorado fliers on our side and in one room.

The only problem with that plan is it we would have to figure out a way to get all the civilians through gate security. I think I've got a couple Colonels that might be willing to help me out with that.

If you'd like to email me:

Post by: Rojo on October 25, 2001, 04:16:00 PM: While I'm currently on a leave of absence from the CM corp, I still have privaliges and would happy to set something up in the SEA, once you figure out what you want. Just let me know. I'll also happily participate in a mini-con, and will even arrange a social event if there's interested (no-host dinner, for example).
