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.

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.

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!

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

![]() 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.
