My Fine Associates:

For those members of AzAP that are also members of ISAP, here is definitive information regarding ISAP upcoming symposium. I looks like they've got another great line-up of speakers and activities. If you are not a member of ISAP, but have considered joining and would like to attend the Seattle symposium, simply contact ISAP administration (see link below) and they will guide you through the process.

The ISAP Symposium will be in Seattle at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center from May 16–18. You can book your rooms at the special ISAP rate of $99 through April 26. http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/pers ... .mc_id=POG]

He leads the multimedia team that provides support for the F-35 Integrated Test Force at NAS Patuxent River, Md.

UPDATED SYMPOSIUM INFO

Final plans for the 2013 ISAP symposium field trip are just about complete. The board hopes to finalize details within the next two weeks. At this point, we can say that the field trip will incorporate a visit to the Boeing Future of Flight, adjacent to the Boeing manufacturing plant at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, as well as the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Also, the board has reached out to military bases in the area, and it appears that we again will be able to offer a special pre-symposium trip for a limited number of members. This optional event will not be covered by the ISAP symposium registration fee. When we announce the details of this pre-symposium trip, we also will announce the associated fee.

The board would like to thank the ISAP members in the Seattle area who have helped to arrange this year's field trip program. We are confident that this year's field trip will showcase the Pacific Northwest's unique and lengthy aviation history. 

For those who don't already know, the Symposium will be in Seattle at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center from May 16–18. You can book your rooms at the special ISAP rate of $99 through April 26. http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/pers ... .mc_id=POG]

They're charging admission for a visit to a military base?

[Jeff D. Welker]

I'm guessing here, but I believe the charges are related to arranging bus transportation from the symposium site to the air base. There may also be some food and beverage costs involved. I just don't know for sure.

[Joe Copalman]

Ahh, that makes sense.
