SAAC Carolinas Spring Event 

New Spring 2022 SAAC Carolinas Event!!!

Gas prices are up, masks are off and Putin is invading the Ukraine, it must be time for another SAAC Carolinas Spring Event.  You are officially invited to attend the upcoming SAAC Carolinas Spring Event on Saturday, May 21st, 2022, at the Hickory Regional Airport, in Hickory, NC.  Like last year, we will be parking member's cars amongst the vintage military airplanes that reside at the museum, and it makes for amazing photo opportunities.

They have a fabulous museum that is open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and we'd like to get as many cars in and parked amongst the planes as early as possible, so plan to be there between 9:00-9:30am.  There are plenty of trailer parking spaces located in the airport parking lot for those who may need them. 

As for lunch, there is a short order cafe at the museum, and the food is quite good which I can attest to.  There is plenty of room to sit inside and eat, plus there are three picnic tables outside by the planes and around your cars.  There are also plenty of restrooms inside the terminal including ones that are handicap accessible. 

If anyone is thinking of staying overnight, there is a Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn, both located about 15 minutes from the airport on I-40.  From there, you can easily drive to the event in your car. 

I plan to bring my growing collection of Shelby/Ford memorabilia, and we might even have another round of our famous SAAC Carolinas Trivia, so bring your thinking caps.   Please RSVP if possible.  We look forward to seeing you there!
