In a departure from our seasonal Events, a good sized contingent of the Alliance will be heading over to
Fantasy of Flight on Saturday, August 13th for the first annual SWGFA Summer Outing. Most importantly, you're invited! Best of all, we're able to take advantage of their Florida Resident Summer Special- Buy One, Get One Free Admission. The complimentary admission is valid when accompanied by a guest purchasing a paid admission ticket of equal or greater value so it's available to adults and children alike.
We're meeting at 10:00am in the parking lot of Fantasy of Flight. To give everyone a chance to arrive, we'll wait until 10:30am and then enter the museum together as a group.
If you're attending by yourself, fear not, we'll do our best to match you up with someone that morning so everyone can take advantage of the deal.
If you've got a Star Wars t-shirt, please wear it! We'll be able to recognize each other as we roam around the museum and it will help represent our group.
As many
Star Wars fans share a love for George Lucas' adventuring archaeologist
we're particularly excited to see the actual Ford Tri-Motor that was used in
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It doesn't sport the Lao Che logo anymore, but the plane is unmistakable all the same.

There's also an exhibit dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen, the heroic African-American pilots that we'll see in the next Lucasfilm,
Red Tails. Over 40 restored airplanes can be seen including walk-through exhibits, airshows, simulators, and demonstrations.
We'll leave Fantasy of Flight at 3:30pm and head to Applebee's Neighborhood Grill located at 230 Arteva Drive Lakeland, FL 33809 to meet up for dinner at 4:00pm.
Brush up on your
Star Wars trivia knowledge because we'll see the return of our trivia challenge.
Razors Edge Collectibles is sponsoring it so there will be some cool
Star Wars prizes available.
For those that can't or simply do not wish to join us at the museum, you are welcome and encouraged to join us for dinner at Applebee's at 4:00pm. VERY IMPORTANT! We will need an exact number of attendees for dinner! If you will be joining us, please send an email to
swgfa77@gmail.com with your name and how many people will be in your party so we can call ahead to reserve space for the group. If you do not let us know in advance, you may not get to sit with the group. We will take RSVP's from now until Friday, August 12th at 8:00pm.
Fantasy of Flight is located just off of I-4 at 1400 Broadway Blvd. S.E.Polk City, FL 33868. We'll see you there!
