I was thinking the same for our Civil Air Patrol Cadets, but I can't think of any way to claim that a trip to the Tartans Museum is part of Aerospace Education.

Matt could always do a presentation on the USAFR, RCAF AND RAF tartans!

You could fly them here. :-)

Geez, Matt. I wasn't going to mention the "B" word. You know what kind of reaction mention of that play gets around here.

On our way home we toured the Western Carolina University theater department, which has a brand new state-of-the-art building. The kids couldn't stop talking about how much fun it's going to be making the costumes for the play. I'll be helping with the kilt construction and will probably be cranking out sporrans and straps as well.

I've got an email in to them currently to see if they need the cloth back, or if it was really meant for somewhere else, or what. Depending on what they say, you folks may be seeing a thread here with me trying to find a home for some modern Mackay heavy weight tartan!

Oh...now your toying with me Matt!!
*IF* I only had the funds for two (a second is on my wish list)!!!
Arrrrgghhh!!! The horror...the horror....

Since I know you both, and understand your enthusiasm for all things tartan, that must have been a fantastic field trip. Well done both of you.
