Aces High Get Together
« on: March 06, 2006, 08:42:13 PM »


Just a quick note with more detailed planning to come. June 30th. through July 9th. is a busy entertainment event week in Chicago, Illinois (40 minutes from my house). I am looking see how many Aces High Members would be interested in visiting during that time. If an option or for more information email me lilpeapod817@aol.com

Interesting, I live in the Chicago area when I'm home from school, up near Homewood. It'd be great to maybe have a mini-con for the midwest great lakes people?

Tell your Mayor to rebuild Meigs and I'll be there.

I go into MDW and GYY on occasion.  I never had the chance to go into Meigs though $#%@#^

Here's some shots from my buddy who's a captain on a Citation X now from "back in the day."  I was droning on about how I'd never get to do the river visual approach into DCA and land at Meigs.  Tried to brighten my day.

besides me and JB42 (my CO at the time) only 2 others showed up out of like 25 people who i emailed within 2 hours drive... Devi33rd and another guy i can not for the life of me remember his name. dmdmac was supposed to come but wife kept him away at the last minute.

none of these except 42 play activilly anymore, myself included. Devi is near lake geneva and a really cool guy. i got his phone number, i'll give him a jingle and let him know about this.

just off the top of my head though for the chi-town... MGD, a couple of BK's 2 WM's, and a some others. try announcing on CH200 and just write down the names of who says they are from the area... then goto PM and get some email details. thats how i got all the info.

as for me, i dont know. i might be able to drive down for a saturday or something, but money is really tight, and not sure how it will be then.

that far in advance no idea.  I don't and won't have any schedule so unless I sign up for my monthly days off all in a row I doubt it.  In summer there's too much fishing I want to do :)

Yeah i live in Schaumburg so chicago is only 20 minutes away.


When i woke up and saw big X's on the news when the mayor closed Meigs field.  I was so pissed.  That is such a great airport, and not it is a gay park.:furious


I saw so many cool planes there.  Including a B17 and B24.  Believe it or not they landed there.

AKK1mble and I have had a few AH get togethers, we called Betty (& Billy) and a few others.. Triumph I believe. This slutty chick I picked up on tried to set him ablaze with a lighter, then she passed out in my car and peed herself.

I had my notebook and we showed a bunch of dudes at the bar some porn, even took requests, one guy wanted "freckled boobs"

Besides getting drunk as feces, we almost got in a fight as a result of talking mess to the reprobates at the bar.

I'm up for another AH night at the "Red Rooster" here in North Hollywood.
