I'd like to retain my eyebrows so if they plan to fire that thing up I'm out

BTW, I'm fully joking about the attempts

The North American Eagle will be on TV this tuesday evening at 7:30, KBTC channel 12. I haven't seen the previews so I don't know what they coverered.........Ed Shadle

To clarify, no actual speed attempt, not nearly enough running room. It is located in thier work facility. Volunteers will be working on various projects. Might be interesting to hear how they intend to keep a mach + airplane with wheels on the planet and under control at the speeds they will attempt to go.

Opps spell check isn't working. Were did that dictionary go

El Mirage doesn't open until May... so I assume that's what they're working towards.

WHERE: Shady Acres Airport, 218 44th Ave. E. For those coming from the south and not meeting at Biillies. Be sure to go straight when turning onto 44tth Ave. E. (its a taxi way), a wrong trun you may find yourself on a runway. Go to the end of the road were there is a fence. The volenteers will be working on projects and things. The work space for the vehicle is in a hanger. Should be a good visit. Location about 20 to 30 min from Bill McHales.

LUNCH: The Lucky Cow Girl Up 14114 Pacific Ave. S.
