Title: Holiday in the Hanger
Post by: JonE on Mon 12/12/11 11:35 AM
Hello everyone,

This coming Saturday, the 17th from 11-2 the USO is holding there annual Christmas party for troops and their families. I am bringing a few wrapped kits from the USO to give away as well as a make and take. If anyone is interested in haging out with me for a few hours it is at TAC Air RDU hanger, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, 1725 East International Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560. Thanks in advance.

Here are some pics of Ryan at the event.

The kits that Ryan is standing over are unwrapped versions of what we were handing out on top of the P-51 and Corvette snap kits.

We had a 66 Vette, a Cylon spaceship of some sort, a Jeep CJ-7, a Tiger I, and a Misubishi car wrapped.

We handed out 33 kits and had 10 or so make-n-takes. The 3 hours flew by.

If anyone ever gets to there hanger, the men's room has some awsome framed WWII aircraft on the walls. I don't know if they were local birds or not.
