  What a weekend we are planning.  March 26 - 29, 2026.  This will be a joint event with Southeast Bonanza Society.

  We are working on hotel and dinner(s).  Here is what is in the works.

  Thursday - Arrive in Mobile, Alabama.  Looking at Mobile International, BFM.  Head to the hotel, trying for a stay in historic downtown Mobile.  

  Friday - for some a tour of Continental Areo and 2 speakers.  I say for some as our numbers are being limited, a total of 25 in the tour, 12 from each regional group. Those that are not on the Continental tour we have a few things in mind.  Historic downtown area for shopping, Mobile Botanical Gardens, Bragg-Mitchell Mansion or Oakleigh House Museum are a few possibilities.

  Saturday -  for those interested we are planning time at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park.  This houses the battleship, Aircraft Pavilion with 30  + aircraft, and the USS Drum.  The USS Drum is a Gato-class submarine.  The oldest of it's class still in existence.  Lunch is available at the Park.  

  Sunday - head home.

  We are working on a group dinner or two.  Maybe a dinner cruise!

  More information soon so watch for it.
