Commerorative Air Force, Airbase Arizona (Mesa)

Hello Friends!

Join us as we head to Mesa to visit the Commemorative Air Force Museum at CAF Airbase Arizona. We'll explore aircraft and artifacts, getting up close with actual planes and memories of the people that helped change the world.

While exact exibit numbers can vary, the website states they generally have 21 aircraft on display. Six of those are in working order and you can take a flight in any of them... for a "nominal" fee.

After our visit, we'll make our way over to Red, White, and Brew (NW corner of Power Rd and McDowell Rd) for lunch. Depending on how many people we have, we may need to split into smaller groups for seating.

For those who want to, from 1-3 the museum is doing a special photo exhibit about the Spruce Goose, "the world's largest wooden aircraft and flying boat. Discover how it came to be, how it flew, and the conflict of ownership in its later history." Check to verify you can be readmitted if you leave for lunch.

Admission is $15 and appears to be only payable on-site.

Hope to see you there!

The Legal Stuff (this is actually important, please read)
Attendees are fully responsible for any costs they incur to attend any event. Any member that fails to cover their bill will be removed from the group. Please research the event before you sign up to get a cost estimate if one is not provided in the event summary. FOM accepts no liability for variances in prices posted on the event page or any other website used to estimate events costs.

Friends of Mine does NOT make advance reservations at any event due to the large amount of no-shows and last minute cancellations endemic in MeetUp. We will show up early and wait for service for as many people as we have wherever we go. Attendees must understand we may have a wait for any event.

Some events will be held at businesses that require advanced reservations per person to attend. It is each member’s responsibility to make those reservations for themselves. FOM will not make them for you. If you sign up for any reservations required event then show up without making your own reservation, and there is no availability on the day of the event, you will not get to participate. FOM will list in detail the date, time, reservation phone number/web address, etc. for any event where reservations are required or recommended.

Friends of Mine, and it's organizers, are not responsible for any interactions between members before, during, or after any event. Always use caution and prudence when interacting with people you do not know well. Members who act inappropriately will be asked to leave the event and banned from the group.

Friends of Mine, and its organizers, are not responsible for member transportation to or from any event. This includes out-of-town events. If you choose to carpool and your ride leaves you, you will be responsible for getting yourself home. Other members may be willing to help, but this is not guaranteed and should not be assumed. Again, always use caution and prudence when interacting with people you don’t know well.
