I would bring one if you want too. There's room near the fenceline where you could set it up.
And as Bud said, the food is really good at the cafe!

It was 102 when Tricia and I were at Castle Sunday. Yes, it was a tad balmy... but the forcast for OC says it will be in the mid-80's.

OC Update
We are asking that all the HHRs go thru the hospital gate. If you go to the Castle Medical center thru the parking lot, you will see the gate into the musuem. Kat Smith from the Museum will be directing traffic, and most likely I will be as well... I'm not hard to miss, trust me!
I just got home7:40pm and am dead tired. I can't wait to see the pics that Karl and others took. Today was a BLAST. The weather man helps us out, a little rain and lots of clouds but that was all the bad and a bushel basket full of LOTZ OF FUN. Thank you Karl and Trishia for a great day, and needless to say many thanks for those that did show up, Harvey and I enjoy meeting and spending they day with ALL of U. It was great having Stubby there to help us enjoy the day that much more.
See ya down the road.

Tricia and I appreciated you and everyone who attended. More showed up than I expected, to be honest, because of the rain. The first words out of my mouth as we pulled up to the B-52 was "...oh my god..."
As to the question I posted in the Lounge as to how many HHRs can you fit under the wing of a B-52... well more than I would have guessed... pictures coming soon.

A Few Pics
Oh, and for the record... if everyone showed up, we would have been able to get 18 HHRs under a wing of a B-52!
