|  Thunderbirds ?
Has anyone thought about getting in touch with the Thunderbirds which are based at Nellis about a possible tour? I was thinking that would be pretty kick ass.

I thought about it considering they have a museum at all... but apparently, the museum is now closed to the general public (due to 9/11). not sure if there's anyone on board that could get us inside...I think we'd need a military man or woman to make that call and get us a foot in the door. |

Sean, Talk to Gina (gna_in_lga ?) cuz i know she's living in vegas now and she used to work military....not quite sure if she's working AT Nellis but she might be working with a few of the Nellis peeps if she's still working in the military field.
If MikeD were here, we'd just ask him but he hasn't been on site for over 2 years now, so i don't want to depend on that. | |

19-22 (it'd be great to put a tour on the 19th since we don't have any meeting space then...but also understand that it'd be a sunday as well, so it might be difficult.
we'd also have to figure out transportation but we can do that after the know something more. | |

Nope, the Thunderbirds museum is still open to the public, it's just the base access you'd have to contend with.
Give the Thunderbirds Public Affairs folks a call, they may be able to work something out. Their show season will still be underway, so whether they can support a group will be hit and miss.
