80 Years old... Birthday ideas

aagrumman · 02-13-2008, 04:06 PM

My grandfather is turning 80 in may, he happens to be a huge aviation buff with model airplanes and being a mechanic in the aircore in ww2. id like to do something really cool for his birthday. I thought you guys might have some good ideas or even some websites and phone numbers. Im not necessarily looking for a plane ride but that is a good idea. A good trip or bascilly something besides strippers and a party is what iam looking for (yes that is already included).

Sorry for the off-topic.

Joke or not. You show no class whatsoever. And do me the favor by not telling me to “lighten up, it’s only a forum or beers are on me next time”.

how about a ride on express (with you flying)
long overnight together at a place that has
an aviation museum.

i'm sure he'll have a great time - and it won't
cost you that much.

what about a team of 5 strippers for a marathon jelly-wrestling session? I can't think of anything I'd want more for MY big eight-oh

If you can manage a long MAF overnight they have the American Airpower Heritage Museam (CAF) and an exhibit of original restored noseart from the WW2 era that might be cool for him

American Airpower Heritage Museum

Not the best aviation museum around but the nose art exhibit was pretty cool. Just an Idea
