NMCA Enjoys "Plane" Fun
NMCA member and caravan chairman Rich Sherman organized the initial caravan for 2007 for NMCA members. 16 Corvettes got dusted off and gathered early Saturday March 17th for an enjoyable cruise along old Route 66 to Moriarty, NM. Our destination was the Commemorative Air Force hanger at the Moriarty airport. Members were treated to a splendid overview of the restoration work being performed, the accomplishments to date and a glance at projects in the works.
Not only was it a beautiful day for a drive, but several members found it necessary to slip the bounds of earth and take flight in one of the restored vintage aircraft. 0-60 the Corvette would have won hands down, but not one Corvette could physically leave the ground and soar with the eagles.
The staff at Moriarty airport were very informative and managed to crank out a huge amount of excellent BBQ burgers for a hungry NMCA mob. Our thanks to Rich for his hard work and for a well planned event. NMCA thanks our hosts at the Commemorative Air Force, and we wish them all the best as they continue to piece old vintage airplanes back together like new.
