Hmmm...

See the 787? Cool. Network (maybe) with Alaska people. Very Cool. See JC people. Very Very Cool. I'll try to bid it off.

Can you put me down as a maybe?

It will depend on my work schedule. Want to make it though! Sounds like an AWESOME experience!

BCTAv8r · April 3rd, 2007, 11:25

Yeah, you can put me down as a maybe as well.

I will be in Seattle all summer, so if there is room I’m in. I’ll try to talk to my Grandma who helps coordinate deliveries for Boeing and see if she can hook a tour of Renton or Seattle plants up.

When you talk to Grandma, see if she is able to get access to the 787 rollout?

If there is still room, I am 100% sure I could be there.

Well let me clarify that I’m not montanapilot’s spokesman or anything, but… He does instruct out of there so I’m assuming so. Do you fly out of Twin Oaks? I just recently started renting from there.

BobDDuck · April 5th, 2007, 20:31

Mike, I just realized I have vacation that week starting the 8th. I just picked a random week so it worked out pretty well. Mark me as a 100% in. Thanks.

I fly out of Hillsboro, but I have flown in to Twin Oaks a couple of times for the EAA Breakfast. It's a nice little airport.

Wow, I need to check these threads more often...

I doubt I'll be able to hang out on Monday, but I can definitely be there on Sunday for the 787 rollout. Let me know what's happening and I'd love to meet up with you all.

The 787 rollout is for me, the tours are all on Monday.

Cessnaflyer · April 6th, 2007, 23:16

Do you know if the 787 roll out is for family members yet?

My dad hasn't received any invitation yet which is kinda weird because we've been to many in the past except they were all 737 roll outs so a little lower key then this project.

I work for Alteon in California, so, getting information from Seattle is challenging for me. I have not heard anything yet, so, I am assuming that it will be like the 777-200LR rollout which was for Employees, Media, & VIP's.

Boeing is just sending out media invitations, but, even in the media packages, some of the information is a little incomplete....

Mike734 · April 7th, 2007, 11:39

I'd like to meet you guys. I have most of June off. Count me in.

SkyCougar · April 7th, 2007, 15:31

I'm always looking for an excuse to visit Seattle. Not sure I can make it yet, but put me on the info list. It sounds like an interesting get-together, plus all you JC'ers seem like such nice folks.

SkyCougar · April 7th, 2007, 22:15

I've got a lot of friends in Seattle, so I could schedule a trip to visit them, as well as do some business up there when you all have your get-together. But what I think would be really cool is to go to the Boeing museum and plant tour with people who are pilots. I'm obviously not a pilot so it would be cool to go with someone who could explain aviation things to a simple mind such as myself.

I've never been to the Boeing plant, etc. Would love to tour it! Are you all rolling your eyes now and thinking, "Oh no, non-pilot chick invasion?"...LOL

I bet some other non-pilots (gals and guys) would like that. We could all go as a group and have a group hug instead of fighting over politics and religion and whatnot....is that a groan I hear coming through my speakers?

Polarbear · April 7th, 2007, 22:16

Mark me down for being there.

so we're not VIPs?

who do we need to call to keep working on get the ball rolling? i can help you try to see if we can't have a group of VIPs....or i wonder if there's a media form you have to fill out to get media passes? we might qualify as that.

Aero_Engineer · April 8th, 2007, 19:28

Hey Mike thanks for doing something like thsi again, If you can post an approximate schedule since I wanna go ahead buy my ticket and reserve a hotel room.
I can't wait, Mike is the man. He plans great stuff all the time.

Location: Seattle
I will provide more details as I receive them, whoever is interested, please send me a message, I need to provide a head count in a couple of weeks....

EineBeBoP · April 14th, 2007, 04:49

If I get a job between then to pay for a ticket up there, I'm defiantly interested! Always wanted to go to Seattle anyways!
Put me down as a tentative yes?

Doug Taylor · April 14th, 2007, 09:39

If you can attend one of the behind-the-scenes tours the MPengy can arrange, by all means make it!

Absolutely amazing.

montanapilot · April 15th, 2007, 02:53

sorry i havent checked this thread. but yes i would be getting either the commanche or a 172 for the trip. I'll see if a few of my students wanna go too.

Mike734 · May 8th, 2007, 15:44

Any news on this get together?
