HI Ron,

I appreciate your offer, but I think we need to be closer in to Seattle we will also be doing the Museum of Flight at Boeing Fld.
I have been working with Dick and now with Mike on this project we hope to have this in the Beaver Tales during the next print. Right now it looks like May 2011 but we are not firm yet. I will be meeting Mike at the KOA in Kent after the wooden boat rally.


FYI I also hope to have us on a tour of the new 787 Gallery ( not open to public) this is an airline customer order point, it's very cool!!!
Jerry

Hi, Jerry. Thanks for the quick response. I know what you mean about Boeing tours. They can be really great. I took some of my staff on a tour of 777 #1 before any of the interior was added. Very interesting and memorable as well.
Again, even though I will be in the Palm Springs area from December to mid May, please don't hesitate to call on me. I will be glad to provide and remote help.

Ron and Jerry...If you two are going to be in the southern California area in January why not join our Beaver group as part of the Western Area Rally at Riverside County Fairgrounds.  We'll be doing security there and if you don't want to move your coach from the lot you're on just register for the Passport entry and you can drive your car to the location.  We have several that help us out that way: one at 1000 Trails, one at ORA, and one at Indian Waters resort.  I have not been to a rally to meet Ron and would gladly like to have you there.  Friends of Beavers are also welcome to join the group.  If you read the BT the Indio flyer remember that we also have a lobster boil and some good fellowship.
Mandy

Mandy, thanks for the invitation. I should be settled in by the time the Riverside event starts and will make it a point to see you there.

For the Beavers that have express interest in an Aviation Rally in Seattle, this is an update the "Jet City Experience" Rally is set for May 11th - May 15th.

We’ve have a large amount of interest from our member about the possibility of  having a Aviation History rally dealing with the 2 foremost aviation museums in the USA. The rally will be highlighted by visits to the Boeing Future of Flight Museum including a tour of the Everett Plant. The Museum of Flight is the largest privately operating Aviation museum in the USA, don’t miss this trip.
FYI we now have 3 new aircraft at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.  One of these bird’s is my all time favorite, the 1049 Super Connie, plus a new B-17 and a new B-29 yes both of these WWII birds have just been totally refurbished at the Boeing plant 2. Both of these planes came off the assembly line at Boeing’s plant 2 during the war years and they are now the last 2 Boeing planes to roll out of the Plant 2 doors, what history these birds bring with them.

I am also hoping that we may have one of the space shuttles by May; the museum is working very hard to get one of these to enhance the space portion of the museum I am hopeful that we will have the opportunity to board a shuttle.

The Jet City Experience will offer some great optional activities. I will have an informational sheet available to help everyone with the Optional Activities next month, plus you should see our rally listing in the next BT listing.
This will be my first trip as a Rally Master so I have solicited the help of a veteran Mike and Donna Humble they have agreed to be on board as Co-Rally Masters.
