Any of you going to KLAX Friday to see Endeavour

Post by Michael Blakely »

Are any of you west coast AAV pilots going to KLAX Friday to see the 747 with Space Shuttle Endeavour land?

I'm planning to leave San Diego at 7:00 and get there between 9:00 and 10:00. My plan is to find a spot on the sidewalk on Aviation Blvd. just East of 25L and get a close up view of final approach.

OK! I resemble these remarks!.. The only hang ten I did was on my skateboard in 1964. Did some body surfing in High School.

I don't go near the water today or since 1969, Too many fish do things in it, Jaws lives there, boats float on it,( I get seasick terribly), kids play in it and you know what they do.

We moved to San Diego in 1962. The local neighborhood kids wanted to know if I was a Surfer or a Hodad. Well since I wasn't a surfer I guess I fell in with the other group. Search google if you want to know what that is.

So the only "hanging" I do now is at my local Starbucks©

Later Dude's and Dudettes,
