Oh, Why Don't You Go Dry Up!!! A crowd sourced presentation/extended discussion on the use of a food dehydrator as a modeling tool. We talked about this a while back (maybe a few years!) but it's time to revisit this topic! Some of us continue to use one of these wonder tools and others have "taken the plunge" and added one to their modeling arsenal. Those of us that have/use one will share our experiences with the group about lessons learned, what we might do differently next time, etc. Show and Tell

Photo tour of the Volandia Museum at the Milan International Airport Art Harvey took a trip to Italy’s oldest and currently largest museum of aviation in the summer of 2024. The museum is located on the grounds and in the original factory buildings of the aircraft company founded in 1908 by Giovanni Caproni and features exhibits from Italy's earliest lighter-than-air efforts, through the piston engine era, right up to modern jet, rotor, and tilt-rotor aircraft. There are a lot of pics, so we're going to play it by ear, in case we have to press pause and keep the second part for a future meeting. Show and Tell Happy New Modeling Year!
