When the weather is this gloomy, how on earth can you get a proper aviation fix?
Watch a movie in an aircraft hangar, that's how. :)
Join us this evening for "The Flyboys" -- which is apparently quite good.
Two boys from a small town find their courage tested when they accidentally stow away aboard an airplane owned by the mob.
Jason and Kyle, friends from different sides of the track, become embroiled in the adventure of their lives when they discover a mysterious airplane at the local airport. The boys sneak aboard for a look but are forced to hide in the luggage compartment when two men climb aboard. Soon they find themselves airborne over the open Arizona desert. After hours in the air the boys unwittingly uncover a bomb in the luggage compartment. But when they burst into the cabin to report their discovery, they find that everyone on board has bailed out. The boys must now take the controls and land the plane themselves. But their troubles are only just beginning...
Sounds like fun! As usual, Bobby A's restaurant will offer snacks and a great burger+soda deal on their tasty Landmark burger. We'll be convening at 6:30 this evening at Bobby A's! The movie will likely start at 7:15 or so.
Experienced movie-goers suggest bringing a chair pad if you have one, as this movie runs nearly 2 hours. :)
...hope to see you there!
