JPL Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Last year there was a tour of the Fitzgeralds Gliders plant during the ECR. I have been in cantact with them and they would again welcome a group if anyone would be interested. Looking at the 14th for the date. Anyone want to make the trip? Just let me know.

Jim Gell Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I do not want to go this year because I went last year. However, it was well worth my time last year and I am glad I went. Nice tour.

whatsnext Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 My wife and I would be interested as well. We've toured the Volvo factory in VA and it would be interesting to see another aspect of truck building. 2016 Volvo VNL780 D13 I-Shift 2016 DRV 44 Houston 2015 Smart Cabriolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Whats Next, Hope you and your wife can make it. Shirleys brother-in-law retired from the Volvo plant. We got to tour it when they were building Volvos in one end and Macks in the other end. My Daddy was born in Dublin and I grew up in Roanoke and DW is from Blacksburg so we know western Va. The people who went last year say its worth the trip. As we get closer and we know about how many people we are talking about then we can get a solid date(14th). Looking forward to meeting you . We haven't been to a rally since 2011 and that one was in Myrtle Beach. We didn't have a HDT then. Bought it a month later from a Escapee man. We did make 2010 in Va Beach with our 550. We were welcomed but were small! Two weeks and counting. Pat The Old Sailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just a reminder if anyone is intrested in visiting the Fitzgeralds Gliders knowing the group went last year I have been intouch with them and a tour can be aranged. I'll be watching this post and think we'll be at site 327(sounds like a small block Chevrolet) but I was told that might change again. Hope to hear from anyone interested and hope to see all at the ECR! Be safe. Pat The Old Sailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
