(7 pix: Air Force Museum)

Let's meet up at the Air Force Museum in Dayton... details below: 
UPDATE: meet-up is scheduled for Saturday January 29 and Sunday January 30

 When I did a little research before I posted the CoolPix of the sweet Curtiss-Wright AT-9 twin engine trainer from WWII, I learned that the only complete airframe is on display at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Hmm, I haven't been to the museum there in over 5 years... I should plan a trip there! That's when the idea for an AirPigz 'meet-up' at the Air Force Museum was born.

 So here's you official invite: sometime in late January or early February there will be a fun little AirPigz avgeek meet-up at the museum. Museum admission and parking are FREE(!), and operating hours are 9am to 5pm EST. If you're even slightly interested in knowing more about when this will take place, please send an email to me via this link Email For Meet-Up - the email will already have the subject line filled in, and we can get some dialog going to find the best weekend. (all the details will be finalized by Friday, December 31st) 

 Regardless of which weekend works best for the most people interested, I'm planning to be there for both Saturday and Sunday. That'll give a little more overall flexibility to pick the day that works best for you. Or, if you're really into the museum like me, you might wanna plan for both days. I may also have a connection to a house with room for a few people to stay overnight as well. My advance promo thru twitter on this has already found about 5 people seriously interested in making the trip, one already with plans to fly down from Canada using up some up some frequent flyer miles. The Air Force Museum is simply spectacular... maybe this little meet-up will be a great catalyst for getting you to Dayton to experience it! 

 I'm thinking we should plan to have lunch together for at least an hour in the Valkyrie Cafe as our official 'meet-up' time for visiting together at the museum, otherwise you'd be free to do whatever you want during your time there. We may also be able to do an evening dinner meet-up on Saturday for anyone who would be available. Regardless, send me an email via the link above and let's see if we can stir up some interest in getting together and talking airplanes! And if you don't know much about the Air Force Museum (with its 400 or so aircraft and well over 1 million visitors each year), check out the following pix for a little idea of how awesome it is!
