ACTIVITIES
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
MEETING
We will bring the membership
up to date on our activities over the past year as well as the projects we
have planned for 2010-11.
P‑38 RIDE ALONG
This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
for many of you. If we have enough members showing an interest, they
will have the opportunity to do a ride along in a P‑38. As some of you
know, last year's flights were cancelled due to P-38 radiator problems on
the ground in Chino, so we're offering them again this year.
Full details are now
available. If you are interested in purchasing a flight, here is the
complete info. Flights will be available
on Saturday, June 26 only.

"P‑38 vs P-51"
Symposium
Well now. Hasn't this been the topic of
some discussion over the decades...?
Therefore,
on Saturday afternoon, June 26, we will be
hosting a symposium at the Planes of Fame Valle Museum to have a "spirited
debate" on the two planes. Which one WAS the better aircraft? And
why? We are planning to have several P‑38 pilots and/or crew members
on the panel who have flown or worked with both planes. The audience will
be encouraged to offer their opinions as well in this interactive
discussion.
ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
30% DISCOUNT
The P‑38 National Association is one of the
finest WWII-era organizations out there today. Not only are we
surviving during challenging times for organizations like ours, but we are
thriving.
Therefore, we have decided that from opening
day of the General Membership Meeting through to the end of July we are
giving all U.S. non members the opportunity to join the P‑38 Association
for the astonishingly low price of $20 for an annual membership. Not
only is that 1/3 lower than our current $30 annual membership dues, it's
even lower than the $25 dues we had set 10 years ago!
If you're planning to bring any new folks into the Association (or want to
give them a gift membership), this is the time to do it.
There is no limit to the number of new members you bring in, but this
special dues rate is for new members only and will be ending on June 30,
2010, so bring your address books. Special
dues rate available between June 1 and June 30,
2010 only. All applications must be either turned in at the Membership
Meeting in AZ or postmarked no later than June 30, 2010.

"high country
warbirds" Fly-in
This event is set to run the entire
day. There will be no admission charge for those attending our Membership
Meeting. The event typically has rides available in many of their
vintage aircraft. Fees vary, depending on the plane. The
Mustang is always a popular choice.
The P‑38 Association will have a merchandise
table set up, as well as an autograph area for those who'd like to collect
a few P‑38 pilot/crew autographs or pick up a souvenir or two.

MEAL EVENTS
FRIDAY NIGHT BBQ
The Planes of Fame is hosting a BBQ after our
General Membership Meeting and after they have finished preparations for the Fly-In
the next day, and
we are all invited.
This is always a big hit with our group.
Lots of great food and a chance to schmooze with those with hands-on
experience with the P-38 (both currently and in the past).
SATURDAY NIGHT
DINNER
After the events on Saturday, we will all be
getting together for a fun, no agenda, no host dinner at the Grand
Canyon Squire Inn. For those staying at
the Grand Canyon Squire Inn, it's an easy commute (just walk to your
room), so adult beverages will definitely be safely on the agenda.
