The plan is to meet at 10:00 AM, at the BP Gas Station located at the main entrance into Savannah Int. Airport. The destination has not been finalized yet, but Jekyll Island is one of the possibilities and you all know how much fun we had last time we went there for lunch! Noel would love to know who is coming, you can contact him <a href="mailto:pilot@comcast.net">here.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5833787536011491603-3590303704754802241?l=www.coastalminis.com'/></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13337728869830670248noreply@blogger.com0
