Visit to the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach
Join fellow Jaguarians at this remarkable aviation museum for a look at classic airplanes from World War I and World War II. Most of these historic aircraft still fly, and we hope to see some fly while we are visiting. Whether you are an aviation buff, are interested in history, or simply have “need for speed” like the pioneers of aviation, this is a great opportunity to see the aircraft that defended Britain in two World Wars.

You can see the aircraft the “Few” of the Royal Air Force flew to win the Battle of Britain - Hurricane and Spitfire – as well as their Nazi adversaries, the Messerschmitt BF 109 and the Focke-Wulf FW 190. WW I aircraft include the Royal Flying Corps’ S.E. 5A and Sopwith fighters and the Kaiser’s Fokkers and Albatross. There are many other aircraft from the USA, Russia, France and other combatant nations as well. Weather permitting, we will be able to see some of the warbirds take off and land on the grass runway adjacent to the Museum hangers. The takeoff roar of a WW II vintage fighter is thrilling!

We will enjoy guided tours and lunch, as well as seeing our fellow Club members and the Jaguars they bring to the event. The Museum is located at 1341 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, 23457. Admission is $17 for adults, $15 for seniors 65+, youth 5 – 13 $10, children 4 and under are free. Please plan to meet at the Museum at 10 AM. So that we know how many to expect, please RSVP to wcarteryounger@gmail.com with the number of people in your group and whether you plan to have lunch at the Museum. We will provide more details about lunch options to everyone who RSVPs. For more information, the Museum’s number is (757) 721-7767.

Scenic Drive, Charlottesville Virginia Wine Country
Ron Mitchell has designed a lovely fall drive through the wine country east and north of Charlottesville in your Jaguar (or other vehicle of your choosing). Brian Trickett has accompanied Ron on this route and confirms it is spectacular. The route will pass Burnley Vineyards and there will be time to stop there for wine tasting if you like.

The route will start just north of Exit 136 on I-64 (east of Charlottesville) and end in Orange Va. (on Hwy 15, about 20 miles north of the starting point)

The drive will take about 1.5 hours (+ wine tasting time) and cover 65 miles of gorgeous scenery over paved, lightly travelled secondary roads, ending at a restaurant in Orange Va. for lunch. This will be an opportunity to take a leisurely (or spirited if you prefer) drive in hopefully beautiful fall weather and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded car people.

This drive is best done with a driver and navigator, but it is possible to do it solo. Each vehicle will be given a set of driving instructions (mileage from start, turn directions, route names & numbers). No time or speed calculations are required. Just follow the instructions and you should arrive at the restaurant.

We will meet on Oct 18 in the parking lot of the Walmart near the corner of Camp Creek Pkwy and Market St. (Exit 136, 0.1 miles north of I-64, behind the Sheetz station). You should plan to arrive by 9:45. The first vehicle will depart at about 10:00 AM. Please RSVP to wcarteryounger@gmail.com and advise (1) whether you plan to drive the route and (2) whether you will join the group for lunch (so we can give the restaurant a projected headcount). We will update information as necessary for everyone who responds. For questions about the route, contact Ron Mitchell, ron.mitchellwpg@gmail.com.
