For those going to Nellis Air Force Base for the Thunderbird Museum Tour

We will board the bus, outside the Plaza Hotel & Casino, at 09:15 and depart promptly at 09:30. We expect to arrive at Nellis AFB around 10:00.  After clearing Security we will be taken to the Thunderbird Hanger for a guided tour of the facility. Depending on the Thunderbird's aircraft maintenance schedule we may also have the opportunity to meet, and converse with, members of the Thunderbird Support Team.  Departure from the Museum will be at approximately 14:00, by that time we will have had ample time to see everything and be ready to leave.
