Title: 3rd Annual Kalamazoo Airzoo Meet

They open at 9:00am.   I'll be there in the main parking lot around 8:30am.    I'm bringing my son this year.   We usually BS, drool at the planes until about 3pm and go to Chili's afterwards for more BS'ing. 

Veterans get a discount, as do children and Seniors.   The full-motion Flight Simulators are pretty much the icing on the cake.

Going to ask Nick (SkyHawk) and Jared (Choker41) to come along too.  Choker and I went up last year or the year before when we got there late and missed everyone.

I'm finally getting ready for bed now.   I've picked up a case of Food Poisoning.   I doubt that I will be in good enough shape to attend.   This sucks, as I have been wanting to take my son there and meet up with some of you.

The hours on Sunday are 12:00 to 5:00pm.  They have the Open Cockpit this weekend:  the P-47, P-39, and B-25 are this weekend.

The AirZoo has free general admission now but you pay for rides and it's $2.00 per cockpit.

I'll be there around 11:30am.   


Thank you LyeEL for bringing the hours to my attention.   I still plan on being there and grabbing some grub after wards at the nearby Chili's.

Plan to be there for noonish. About two hour drive for us and want to try to do it when it's Jacob's nap time. The only thing that will stop us is weather some goofball said something about SNOW! I am running an event in the SEA that night and baby is usually down for the night by 7 so I would like to be home at 6:30 which puts me in the car heading home at 5:30 (time in Michigan). We can stay until close and head home from there doing lunch at the museum or we would have to leave to sit at Chili's for 3-3:30 (time in Michigan) so we have time to eat and BS and not feel rushed since we need to leave at 5:30 and to do that we should be there getting a table at 2:45 (time in Michigan) and with the museum opening at noon I would not want to rush anyone so I am leaning towards the cafe at the museum around 2:30ish (time in Michigan) and hanging at the museum for the day unless you all rather hang at Chili's at those times? We (badger8, Nghtmare, Myself and Jacob) don't care either way as long as everyone will be together.


Karaya,

Let me know what ya' think here, PM, facebook or cell, whichever is easier for you.

Happy Paddy's Day! Poor Jacob ... LOL

We'll invade the "Kittyhawk Cafe" :)   IIRC, that's the name of it.    :devil

I'll be there around 11:30am.   I'll try and twist the wife's arm, but she's being "difficult".

Weather is bad. Might be ok for tomorrow but, with leaving early I am going to have to pass. We need to make it later in the Spring for nicer driving weather. Doppler shows more ice overnight. I threw you a text since it is late ... was hoping the icy rain would stop earlier last night and here it is morning and still coming down.


Let's get some dates soon to try again.
Whoever makes it, have fun!
