Does anyone know what time the LSP "meet and greet" is at (I think its on Friday too maybe?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radub Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 In as far as I know, the LSP meet and greet is on "Friday 3rd August for 10am, Room 101BC slot number 20." I have not seen any notice of a change. So, it should not clash with the PIMA tour on Thursday 2 August. When I bought the PIMA tour ticket I was not asked anything about the hotel or IPMS membership. I put it in the cart, paid by PayPal and I got an email confirming purchase. The email from IPMS said in the "delivery" section: "Rates Unavailable. We will contact you." I guess they will send me an email with the details. In any case, the email I got from them clearly says that I reserved a seat on the tour, so for all intents and purposes that is my "ticket". I will show up, as instructed, at 7:30 outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel. And if that fails, I paid by payPal and I will ask for my money back. I think it is a good idea to reserve a seat while you can. The Northrop Grumman Orbital ATK tour is already sold out Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real need to go into the bone yard itself, if I'm touring the indoor and outdoor display the museum has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radub Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 To visit the "aircraft boneyard" you need to book it directly with the museum weeks in advance and you need to get security clearance. By the looks of it, it is a bus tour, you cannot get off and they have only two tours in the day at 11 and 14 - I am not sure how that synchronises with the bus from and to Phoenix, so I did not book it. I could not find how to buy that packed lunch... They mention it, but I could not see it anywhere. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not buy the lunch, as I'm sure all I will need is a light snack anyway, and I can save 15 bucks. I've been watching my diet better lately; already down 15 lbs, should be down another 10 or so by Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go HERE then choose on-line registration for the convention. I already had an IPMS renewal membership from last years NATs, and just now got my registration done for the convention via the IPMS web site. My suggestion is to get that done FIRST ABOVE ANYTHING. > The IPMS contest registration team alerted me they could not even process my PIMA air museum tour order because I had not officially registered for the convention. I have not entered or registered any of my models yet, and will probably do that when I am closer to getting my Extra done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
