No food other than a water bottle; no knives or weapons just like in the Museum. Meet inside of the museum at 1:30. The tour will start at 2pm in Building 5 with our Collections, Exhibit, and Research divisions. We will have approximately an hour in that building and then head over to Hangar 4 to tour with Restoration until about 4:00. Pictures are generally permitted (you will be told if you cannot for any particular area or artifact), but you cannot touch anything. We will then head back to the museum. There will be a van provided by the museum for the first 15 people to register. If there are more than 15 people, an additional volunteer driver with established base clearance credentials will be needed to get them onto the base at the Area B Gate. This is a very special trip that is currently not open to the public. If we use all of the spots we will schedule and additional tour in the future.

There will also be a build & fly (weather permitting) both days at 1pm, so please let Randy know if you can assist with this specifically. If you plan on coming you can bring 1 or 2 of your very best rockets that showcase what students can expect to see along their rockery journey. Setup is on Friday evening.
