Would love to attend if I was in the area... Did volunteer work at the Planes-of-Fame air museum in Chino, Calif. during my last year in college... was stripping the paint from a P-38 landing-gear door when Rick Brickert said, "Mark, you been up in the '51 yet?" "No..." "Let's go for a ride!"
What a ride it was... At one point we were doin' 490 knots, and 50 feet off the deck at Lake Matthews!! -mark -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton [mailto:hohlr...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 3:14 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:OFF TOPIC Atlanta PDK airshow and airplane joyrides On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 5:49 PM, Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey, hey, hey.

With a sad ending. Lounge, huh? Well, they have obviously come up in the world since I frequented them in the 80s when I worked for Sprint at Century Center. They made a great burger. Ambiance? I do sometimes visit the 2nd iteration of the 57th Fighter Squadron on the other side of the airport. I'll have to sneak in and pay you a surprise visit next time I'm there now that someone has shown me how to bypass the increased security at the airport office complex.
