Fair Warning to Phoenix
 
Consider this your warning.

I will be in the Mesa/Gilbert area from May 8 until June 25th.
I'm there for some work related training... My week days will be full, but evenings and most weekends will be free.

This will be my first time back in AZ since being stationed at Huachuca in the late 80s. (excluding passing-thru on the interstates a few times in the 90s)

May try to meet up with Pelicans while out there.
I know Joe lives there... I guess Sydney, Rick, and a few others also.

Also want to spend a day at the Pima Air & Space Museum.

Better text Joe.

I'm coming out for 4-5 days the second week of May also. So lets plan a pelican get together on May 16th!

porsche4life 04-18-2015 04:32 PM

I live in gilbert. Pm me your digits!

scottmandue 04-18-2015 05:12 PM

Hide your helicopters!

Rick Lee 04-18-2015 06:09 PM

I have always wanted to do the Boneyard tour, but they only offer them on weekdays and I can make it there except on weekends.

porsche4life 04-18-2015 06:29 PM

I could be persuaded on a weekday with a little notice to go down and tour the museum and boneyard

Whats your Itinerary? We should be able to make something work!

DonDavis 04-20-2015 12:36 PM

sub'd...
I'm in NE Mesa. I'm sure we can meet up more that once.

And yes, somebody tell Joe before he has a conniption. :D

Joeaksa 04-25-2015 11:54 AM

Should be there at least part of the time.

Have done the "boneyard" tour many times and its well worth the trip. We were able to get outside but that was a while ago and its not allowed now.

Let me know when you guys are getting together!

scottmandue 04-25-2015 12:13 PM

What is "the boneyard"?

Or maybe a gay bar off Hwy 60.

Bobby: What's the Boneyard?
Joseph: I can't remember. It's either the place where old people go to die or where young people go to make out.
Bobby: What if you're wrong? What if it's the place where young people go to die and old people go to make out?

I'm sure a small posse could be rounded up to go down to the boneyard sometime during your stay

rattlsnak 04-25-2015 09:40 PM

May 16th or 17th would work best for me. Coming in that Friday and leaving on Tuesday.

I actually arrived yesterday but spent the afternoon trying to get 'settled in' ... buying supplies (beer) and furnishings, trying to recruit a maid (hooker) and the usual stuff.

I'm going to do a little more shopping now, eat lunch, and then head over to Falcon Field for a bit.

I expect to be free this evening and this weekend - though I really should reserve some time for studying the material prior to classes on Monday morning.
