Someone will circle back to the 747 at 3 PM to pick up any additional latecomers to join our group.
Specific Air and Space Museum Scheduled Activites
Private Museum Tour, 2 PM Saturday
Tour lasts about 1 hour. Meet near the Welcome Desks. There is a large pole that reads "Visitor Information" visible from both entrances, just a few yards away from both Welcome Desks. Your tour will begin at the South Welcome Desk, which is located on the Independence Avenue side of the museum. Your tour guide's name is
Eleanor, and she will be wearing a name tag, and should be easy to find.
3 PM - Informal touring meeting first at the 747.
IMAX viewing, 4 PM - we're shooting for the 4:05 PM showing of "Fighter Pilot".
I will arrive about 1 PM. If you want me to buy tickets for you ahead of time (if you are
definitely coming) at a member discount of $6.50 each, let me know.
ifette, ed1, SchmutzigMSP have posted their interest so far.
