Everything is a go for Saturday at 2:00PM at the Hagerstown Regional Airport. The weather forecast as of this morning for Saturday is mid- to upper-80s and partly cloudy. While not in the forecast (as of this morning), passing thunderstorms are not uncommon this time of year around here.
The Museum people will have the C-82 in place with other aircraft out of the way or hangered. They'll position the aircraft any way we like for best photography. As I've mentioned before, it would be a nice gesture for anyone so inclined, to give the museum a donation for their time and effort. Any donations can be earmarked for the refurbishing of the original C-82 used in the 1962 Avanti Airlift or for their general fund...individual choice.
The passenger terminal is right off of I-81 a few miles north of I-70 on Showalter Road. We'll all meet there at 2:00 and caravan to the C-82 in a different area of the airport.
As of now, it looks like about a dozen Avantis should be present for the event. Hopefully there will be no last minute dropouts and maybe a couple more "maybe" cars might be there. There should be about twenty people for the dinner following the event.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great Avanti time!
