July 2nd: 8:30 a.m.: Monthly meeting and club activity: C.A.T. members are invited to display their cars for the public at the Chino Air Museum as part of their Independence Day activities. The Chino Air Museum is renowned for restoration of WW I, WW II, Korean and Vietnam War era aircraft, many of which are in flying condition. The museum is observing the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, which will include displays of a SBD Dauntless, Boeing P26, Seversky AT 12, an authentic Zero fighter, B17 “flying fortress” and many others.

Owners wishing to display their cars inside the museum are asked to enter the museum as one group. Meet at the museum parking lot at 8:30 a.m. in order to enter at 9:00 a.m. Display cars are asked to stay until 1:00 p.m.. Professional photos will be taken of each car and owner with a historic aircraft to be announced, beginning at 1:30 p.m. We are offered a guided tour if desired (90min), we are invited to take a group photograph as well. All vehicles are asked to exit the museum grounds by 2:00 p.m.

Admission for vehicles to be displayed inside the museum is $20 for driver and one passenger. Includes photo. Admission for visitors not displaying a vehicle is $10 for adults, children 5 to 11 are $5, under 4 years old are free. Please RSVP to www.catigerevents@gmail.com no later than June 15 so we can let the museum know how many to expect.

Attention attendees to the Chino Air Museum event!
For those of you who did not get to attend Tigers United XLI, we will be bringing a few of the extra TUXLI logo'd shirts for sale. These shirts were the hit of the United. Grey polo shirts and we paid extra to have no fabric tags on the collar. We sold quite a few extra ones at the United, but we still have a few left over. $25 and you get a great shirt and support your club! We have both women's and mens sizes available but some sizes are running out!

Also, CAT member Steve Loya, who's been coordinating our visit, wants to point out that the air museum will be offering flight demonstration rides in a real WWII vintage Douglas C-47 for $125 per person.

Those of us who braved the heat had a wonderful time. And a photo shoot with the P-51.

The club sends many thanks to our member Steve Loya for setting this up. Those who attended had a great time and a lot of members who attended ( myself included) had always wanted to go see this museum, but had never gotten around to it. Such great machinery so well preserved!
