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.

Mr.ED,
Thanks for the info! This Seattlite will try to make it. Maybe we should all meet up?
For a few beers?
-
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!)

The B17 and B24 were here in Redding,CA yesterday droning around.

I'll be ther Rip. I'll be wearing my WB Con 99 cap with 101st pin and others on it. Looking to see some of you guys, even tho I'm not flying AH yet.
-
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!
-
Ah, jeez. Sorry, people, but I won't be able to make it. Just realized I can't do it. Being a Dad to a four month old has its duties. And having a 3rd shift job really compounds the whole thing(get off work at 8am on Saturday).
Well, have a beer for me, and if they have any VVS aircraft, don't tell me. Please don't tell me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

I'm gonna be there...Gonna have to modify my normal schedule tho - I should be sleeping at noon on Saturday!

Ooops rip... didn't mean to make light of your past. whenever those things used to happen to me, way back when, I considered it a fairly bad day.

Kirkland reporting in. Sounds like good times, but moving soon to Totem Lake. Just too much to do.
Maybe next year. Have a good one! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

MrEd said:" Meet outside the gift shop (you walk thru it to get to the hanger) about noonish."
And I mentioned above to meet at the Beer Garden, so...
Let's decide on one central location to meet.
Bongo, will be good to see you again!
-
Updated Post:
There is a beer garden, After you go through the gift shop and hanger to the tarmac, there will be a canopy (tent) and beer!
For those of you flying in, the tower will ask you when you approch. if you are warbird or GA. Tellem GA, unless you are in a warbird, and they will direct you to the other side of the airport, ask them to buzz the museum and we will drive around and pick you up.

I live in Olympia too and am glad someone cross posted this to AGW. I was planning to go to the Fly In, but I was not aware that I would be amoung flight sim friends. I will be wearing a WarBirds Con Cap (Black w/Red bill) from the Dallas Con and a 100th Bomb Group Gray T-shirt (Black Aussie Duster if it is raining). See you there.

Hope y'all can make it to The McChord AFB Airshow and Open House June 24th and 25th. There will be a suprise static display involving the most famous of WW2 German Jet Fighters. Classic Fighters Ind. is bringing their recently restored Me 262. This is your last chance to see it in the Northwest before its flown on a C-17 to Pensacola for permanent display.

Holy guacamole! I am putting together a Fly In at the McChord Air show as well. AKDejaVu has also agreed to attend. Most of the guys that have responded to me are WW1 simmers (Red Baron, Flying Circus) but we have some AH flyers as well. I have a discussion set up for this specific event and other possibles at http://fly.to/nwflyin (http://fly.to/nwflyin) please go there and make yourselves known.
