Flight Museum

**wskier** · 06-27-2006, 01:18 PM

I know that the great folks at MME had their day at the Flight Museum recently. If anyone missed out on that one and would still like to get a picture of their car and the P-51 Mustang, here's your chance. The Lone Star Miata Club is going on July 22 and you're welcome to join us.

The museum donation is $10. The posts on the Lonestar board indicate they probably want you to pay them for membership if you're going to have your picture taken.

I'll just wait then.

Haha no way, I work at a hangar like 7 ramps away from the museum at the airport.

I'm sure the guys there will pull a plane out if alot of us come and ask nicely~ if not then Adrew Jackson might be able to talk them into it.

No membership required. See my post on our web site here:

http://www.lonestarmiata.net/lsmc/viewtopic.php?t=246

I suggested that non-LSMC members throw a couple of bucks in the kitty. All the photos taken will be burned to CD's and it's just to help with the cost.

I'm also a member of the SVT Club of North Texas and we did this a couple of years ago. The photos of our cars with the P-51 as a backdrop are nothing less than stellar. Just opening up the opportunity to let everyone possible have a shot at one of their own. After the shoot we plan to grab a bite and make short run. You're welcome to join us. Heck, If you drive a Miata you can't be all that bad

Hey guys, I coordinated the MME picture shoot at the museum and am likewise doing the tour and coordinating this one for Lone Star. Boyd and I have been working on this for about three months now. I was on vacation for two weeks in Florida, returned two days, and just got back from Indy. Working with Boyd at Lone Star has been great but he did have a week or so wait on me to finalize things during those two days. But I had fun!

First, the MME was a great bunch but we had to change our museum policy afterwards. Nothing we did wrong but just doing what is best for the museum. I had toyed this idea around for a few months and then we tried it with a motorcycle club and then the MME. It seemed like a good opportunity to continue on. We thought the discount entry, group shot free, and a donation for separate shots was fair and worth it. Heck, it's worth it to me and I'm a volunteer there.

You have to remember that the P-51 is valued at around two and a half mill now and when it is moved it is for a reason and there is risk involved. You add more risk when you start moving cars around her. Chad, sorry but you won't get the museum to move her out for just grins

We want and appreciate car clubs and think it is a great idea. But the museum is there to stay in business. The director and I sat down and came up with what we thought was fair to all and would give a once in a lifetime opportunity to the clubs and cars involved. We also have another program if a club wants to host a car show at the museum.

I hope those of you who missed "Miata's in Flight" with MME will take this opportunity and come on out. Just let Boyd at Lone Star know in advance so we can plan it out to work the best for all. Maybe you just want another chance or to use another car/motorcycle?

Peace, RD.

So who is going? I'm planning on being there as I missed it last year. My darn wedding got in the way.

**Mouglie** · 07-20-2006, 12:02 AM

anyone with an 01 LS, green with tan top?
take a pic with the nice plane and i'll pretend it was my car...

**wskier** · 07-20-2006, 04:04 PM

We'll start the day at 9:00 at the Cavanaugh Flight museum at the Addison airport. The address is 4572 Claire Chennault, Dallas. We'll start with a tour of the museum, followed by a brief meeting and the club group photo shoot with the P-52 Mustang as a backdrop. Individual car photos follow. That should get us the to noon hour and a quick trip North to Cruiser's in Frisco for lunch. Cruiser's is a restaurant with a car theme (including some hardware). After lunch we'll head up toward McKinney for a run that well take us to points north and west. The run will terminate at the Chuck's in Grapevine. The SVT Club of North Texas is hosting car shine n' show in the parking lot. It gets going at about 6:00 any everyone is welcome to stay if they want. For those still in the hunt we may make a run to the local Sonic later. See you there.

Will do. I tried to join Lonestar's board, but SBC is blocking any email from them for some reason.

**black roadster** · 07-22-2006, 06:48 PM
