If you really wanted to hook up, I still have my free plane ticket, but I need to see if I can use it for that date.:hmmm:

It's only if you are up for it. No hard feelings if you don't want to spend an airline ticket, just to go see the u505 with me. It would be cool to meet, but don't go out of your way :D

If you come out to the US often, come out to the West Coast some time. I'll give you a tour of the PT-boat.:woot::salute:

Wow, sorry to hear that, but I guess a Subsim tour will cheer you up.

I need to check out of the hotel first and arrange for them to stow our language, because we are flying out in the evening, but I'm thinking we could meet around 10:30 - 11:00.

How does that strike you? We can do it later, I just have to catch a flight at 10pm

Yeah, I was alone, but in the company of a IX, 3 veteran's with great stories and i ran into an aviator who flew during the cuban missile crisis.

All in all a great day.

Ill post pics once i have them up.

yeah, pix or didn't happen!!111oneone

wait...it didn't happen, did it?

Following this logic, if you post a few pix it will violate above rule...bcoz it would prove smth that didn't happen.
I'm lost....

Either way, that's how it ends when you organize meetings at some US periphery...
