Im curious to see how many people fly from the Bay State. Maybe we can all get together sometime in Boston?

Blah! Cape Cod has way too many tourists.

I'm in Oxford, MA. Would love to meet some other AH Dweebs.

SilverHK is in Southbridge

Westy is in Charlton (last I knew)

Burma is in Rhode Island (Providence?)

YardBird is in MA somewhere

Don't know who else...

 The New England Air Museum, just outside of Hartford Connecticut, has an Open Cockpit day in January and in February.  Come sit in the XF4U-4, P-47D as well as many other aircraft and get your pic taken  :)

I live in Beantown , though I'm usually away working during the week. I've been wondering how many AH dweebs were in the area.
We should have a get together: I don't need much excuse to drink beer.

I should be working in the Hartford area for the next 4 months so if there's a trip to the museum i'll be handy)

rust, where about's Fenway do you live? I'm on Boylston Street just opposite the fens.

Post by: moose on November 28, 2001, 11:09:00 PM
wow.

I'm up for a meeting during that open cockpit thing.
Title: Calling mAssachusetts pilots!
Post by: Midnight on November 29, 2001, 10:40:00 AM
I offer my house as a meeting point for this venture to the Museum.

I live in Oxford, which is pretty much central (East-West) in MA. Just 1 mile from Rt 395.

If we want to car-pool, There is plenty of parking in front of my house.

If you want details, send me an e-mail. I think it would be great to get a bunch of us together, see some warbirds and have a drink or two.

Hell, who knows, maybe I can even get the wifey to cook us all a big dinner for when we get back. She makes the best lasagna you'll ever eat  :D

Wing up, Get kills, Be happy!

Great!  I just now re-locate to KC from Wilmington (just north of Boston) and NOW you all decide to get together!!!

Great idea though Moose.  My in-laws have a house in Hyannis sooo, I'll be back in Mass at least once a year in the summer.  I'll hook up with you then for sure.

I've been cleared for the day   :D

Wifey says my house is OK for meeting point, and if I bribe with a shopping spree, she just might make us that lasagna.

Any of you that want to go, e-mail me at  davidlj@charter.net  so we can start getting the details settled on this trip.

YOYO  Westy

 You know what day this cockpit thing at the museum is?

 Any info would be great    :D
Title: Calling mAssachusetts pilots!
Post by: K West on December 13, 2001, 09:29:00 AM
I can't commit this early on for which date I could make. I plan on one anyway but I'll never know til the week before at best. That's due to family and work schedules.

 Here is the info: http://www.neam.org/eventcon.htm (http://www.neam.org/eventcon.htm)

 Dec 27, Jan 20, Feb 17 and March 17th.  Dec 27 only has 5 planes open where as the other dates they open a dozen. The XF4U-4 and the P-47D-R25 included. Not sure if they have the F6F-5 back from the Quonset Museum in RI or not. Last year they also had the F-4 Phantom and the A-10 open too.

I just sent an e-mail out to the list I've assembled so far.

If you want to get involved with this get together, please send me your e-mail address so I can include you in future mailings.

Post by: ispar on December 16, 2001, 03:51:00 PM
I live in Pepperell... think northeast of Fitchburg/Leominster along routes 119 and 111.

Chances are I can't do it, but the odds get better with each later date. Dec. 27 is most definitely out of the question. Oh well, put me on the list.
