Default Special Offer ONLY for Rec.Aviation.Piloting folks...

Bill Fox (the retired Lockheed Skunkworks project coordinator who was
in charge during the development of the SR-71 Blackbird) has generously
volunteered to give his 1-hour Blackbird presentation in our new
theater at the inn on Tuesday, May 30th, at 7 PM. His talk will be
followed by Bill's very special "home video" about the Blackbird, and a
question & answer period.

(FYI: After leaving the Skunkworks, Bill went on to run the notorious
"Area 51" in Nevada, and -- I believe it's safe to say -- he knows as
much about the super secret operations at Groom Lake as any living
American.)

Bill donated ALL of the cool artwork and memorabilia (including a real
SR-71 pitot-static probe!) in our "Blackbird Suite," and if you have
ANY interest in this ultimate aircraft, you will find him to be a
fascinating speaker. I have spent hours chatting with him, and never
once ran out of questions!

Because we only have room for 25 in the theater, we will be taking
reservations for seating. (There is no charge to hear his talk, of
course.) As thanks to all of you for all your help over the last three
years, the first 5 seats will be set aside ONLY for
rec.aviation.piloting readers!

Bill is in his 80's now, and I suspect he won't be giving these talks
forever. Email me directly at if you wish to
come for the talk. It should be a memorable occasion!
