New Pilot Destination Added - Branson Airport / Branson JetCenter, Hollister, MO
"The Branson JetCenter at the beautiful Branson Airport is a great destination any time. Located just a few minutes from the Branson Landing and the 76 Strip and only a mile from the award winning Murder Rock and Branson Creek golf courses there is always something fun to do nearby. Better yet, in for some of our world famous Famous Dave's barbeque, enjoy watching the aircraft come and go on our outdoor flight deck overlooking our commercial ramp. Never a fee if you're ping off a commercial passenger or if you can top off or take a low, low fuel minimum. Give us a call to make a reservation or just on in, we'd love to have you!!!" - Submitted by Bruce Colony.

New Pilot Destination Added - Historic Flight Foundation, Mukilteo, WA
"Historic Flight at Kilo-7 offers a collection of the most important aircraft produced between 1927 and 1957—all restored and airborne again. Our mission goes beyond serving as trustees of an era. We want you to experience the roar of our F8F “Wampus Cat” taking off. Watch engineers at work restoring the aircraft to flying condition. Share the rush of viewing international treasures from all angles. Whether you’re an experienced aviator, a student of history, or a newcomer to our world, we want to spark and fuel your passion—both for aviation and for epiphanies born from hard labor. Our heroes did not leap from the bathtub shrieking, “Eureka!” They scrawled a sketch on a piece of paper. Got interested in an impossible challenge. And then they dove into the work. The reward? Innovation that astonished both them and us, and that continues to change our world." - Submitted by Liz Matzelle.

New Aviation Event - EAA Chapter 1246 Monthly Meeting - Flying the P-51 Mustang!, McKinney, TX - Thursday, Feb 9, 2012
This month it's SHOWTIME! We will be showing a documentary on flying the P-51 Mustang. In 1944, as the Allied daylight bombing offensive moved further eastward, the North American P-51 Mustang provided much-needed air superiority as it escorted bombers all the way to Germany and home again. Now, you can step into the cockpit of a P-51D - the Mustang definitive version - to experience the thrill of flight just like a World War II fighter pilot. All meetings are held at 7 pm in Conference Center Room D 106, Section A on the second Thursday of each month at the Collin Country Community College. Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a pilot or a member to attend.
