Update on Event: Everything is going as planned, we just need a nice weather day. I have a sandwich style food truck that will be on site. There is a conference going on inside the terminal building, so the small cafe will be over-run, and I encourage everyone to patronize Bam's Sandwich Bistro, or bring your own lunch. I have a conference room reserved for owners for our use all day, tables, chairs and air conditioning if it's across the parking lot from the main terminal. We have a swap meet area TBD, either in that conference room or near our newly restored picnic area by the aircraft. I have about the same amount of space this year but would like to get an idea of how many cars to expect, and if anyone would like to send me photos of the car they're bringing, please email me at info@hickoryaviationmuseum.com so I can use as I advertise our event. The Carolina Cobra Club will be bringing some cars, and I still have to invite Carolina Mustang Club for 1964.5-1973 Mustangs. There is plenty of parking in the outer parking lot when entering the airport property on the left for trailers. I will be there early, and would like to have everyone parked by 10am, and ask that due to foot traffic, that people try and stay until 1:30-2pm, but I understand folks have other commitments and may have to leave early. I will be controlling the parking lot in my neon vest and white floppy hat, and please, only myself and museum volunteers are to direct cars. Volunteers will have name tags/museum shirts. The Museum looks forward to seeing everyone again. We've added one aircraft since last year, and during the day, we'll have the F/A-18 cockpit open for people to sit in a real fighter jet cockpit, take photos, etc.
