Hey folks,
I went to a MOAA BBQ at the Travis AFB Museum. The museum director spoke and said they were going to be breaking ground soon on a new museum facility that will be outside the base gates. For those who haven't been to the base to see the museum they do have quite a nice collection of airplanes and artifacts.

Also Bay Area/Sac area folks should mark down Saturday Oct. 8th 2011....Mustang Days at Vacaville Nut Tree airport :jump:

Cheers

Forgot to mention too that the Travis Air Expo show will be July 30/31. The Thunderbirds will be there and I think Patty Wagstaff will be doing a demonstration there too.

I won't make it to the Travis show but am planning on seeing the Mustangs show at Nut Tree. If Dave or Rick or any of the other Nor Cal guys here plan on going...I'll see you there :)

Not a lot out there on it as far as official websites. The best thing I can find so far is a forum posting on the Mustangsmustangs.com website with contact info.

If you google Mustang Days Nut Tree on google you can see some flickr photo pages of previous years.
