Wings of War, Up Close...

I mentioned last month about the Collins Foundation bringing their Wings of Freedom tour to the area. It's the weekend after next, so if we're going to get a group together, we'd better do it quick. Saturday is out for me, as TheBoy has a football game in the morning and the Mrs. has to work; however Sunday, October 2nd is pretty open.

I've dashed off an e-mail to the organizers to find out the hours of operation and will check back; assuming that they're open something like 9AM to 3 PM, what would folks like to do? I'd be up for meeting for lunch; however I will have TheBoy with me (Mrs. G and BabyGirl G. are doing a cancer walk in Boston that day) so Hooters is out. Sorry...

Give a shout in comments if you'd like to meet up for lunch, see the Wings of Freedom tour, or both!

That is all.

Sunday works here. See the aeroplanes then a leisurely lunch at say, Martha's or la Carreta?

Better go see them now, before someone in the Anointed One's Admin grounds the Warbirds due to the Reno Crash. Besides, those planes are just symbols of the American Imperialist's Propaganda Campaign on how they were able to justify their Evil Hegemony over the True, Peace-Loving Peoples of the World, culminating in their Horrific Nuclear Bombing of tens of thousands of Innocent Civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Or so I heard one time from a Commie History Professor I once had.

I'm likely good for Sunday 10/2 . . . and I'll second the vote for Martha's. I might also have one or two others come along.

I just heard back from the Collins Foundation. Hours of operation are 10AM - 5PM.

Can do lunch before or after. Martha's or La Caretta or???

Let's meet around 10 at the field, look at the stuff to look at (at a leisurely pace), retire to Martha's for further discussions and victuals.

Most likely in....kid friendly lunch place needed.

@Yankee . . .

The restaurant "Martha's Exchange" on Main ST in Nashua is kid friendly. My 11-year old, aka My Progeny quite likes much of what they offer. And for us big kids, the hand-crafted beers are excellent.

Jay, one request . . . please don't wear a kilt in the planes. The Collings Foundation tries to put on a "family friendly" show.

In, just me. :-( I'd vote for tour first, then lunch.
