Plateau Corvette Club members visited The Beechcraft Heritage Museum, it is a world class aviation museum. With over 78,000 square feet, its exhibits include 38 aircraft from the mid 1920’s to this century along with original art pieces and extensive historical displays of aviation and Beechcraft history. The ride there was along both State Highways and nice back roads – traveling through Sparta, McMinnville and into Tullahoma (no interstate driving!!!) They made a stop at the entrance gate at Arnold Air Force Base near Tullahoma and took a group photo with their vehicles in front of a couple of old fighter jets that are on permanent display outside the entrance to the base. They stopped for lunch at Whiskey Trail BBQ & Steakhouse in Tullahoma, TN. and what would a drive be without an Ice Cream stop in Sparta at Granny’s Soft Serve!

Thanks to Phil and John for planning the trip.

Plateau Corvette Club members visited the National Corvette Museum on Monday, October 16th for a tour and to view the new exhibit, “An American Love Affair:  70 Years of Corvette”. They enjoyed lunch as a group at the Sting Ray Grille in the Museum. A little rain did not stop them from a nice drive thru Tennessee and Kentucky back roads to the Museum. It proved one thing ” Corvettes do not melt in the rain!”

Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading and Bill and Kathy for the great pictures!
