July San Diego Tailhook Happy Hour

Greeting all you San Diego Tailhookers and/or Friends of Naval Aviation:

This is your monthly reminder/Warning Order for what is going to be a very special event on Wednesday, 29 July, at “The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery” (link), also known as “the best looking sports pub you’ve ever seen”. The San Diego Intruder Association (link) is hosting this special San Diego Tailhook Ready Room event as a fund raiser for the Intruder Association Scholarship Fund administered by the Tailhook Organization. You will enjoy the finest pub grub food, Tilted Kilt's Ale, wine, Tailhook videos, participation in the event raffles that include Padre and Tailhook memorabilia (Padre memorabilia donated by the Padres and Tilted Kilt management), USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum tickets, camaraderie with your fellow Tailhookers and Tilted Kilt clientele, and pictures with the Tilted Kilt hostesses. As usual, the mission of 'Attack' and the singular role of the aircraft carrier to put attack aviation within strike distance of the enemy will be greatly debated between the fighter and attack squadron mates.

Rules of Engagement: "Charlie time" will be 1700 (5:00 PM). The evening's charge is $30 per person which includes all food, Tilted Kilt ale, and wine and a scholarship fund contribution. No bar fines will be charged for pictures with the Tilted Kilt hostesses. J

Dress casual and don't hesitate to breakout and wear your beloved flight suit or Tailhook attire. As always, please feel free to bring spouses, significant others, friends, whatever. The more the merrier!

If you have Tailhook aviation videos (DVD format) you'd like to share with your squadron mates, let Clyde Cain (clyde.cain@ngc.com) know and bring them to the event.

Directions: “The Tilted Kilt” is located at 310 10th Ave at the intersection of 10th Avenue and “K” Street immediately north of Petco Park (map) . There is ample covered public parking in the area, and the Padres are on the road that week, so the Padre PETCO Park Lot and curbside parking should be no problem either.

It will be a great event for a good cause...see you at the Kilt!

The NHA meeting will be at the Brass Rail in Hillcrest, same date/time. :D

I actually went to Hillcrest one fine friday night. It was actually a pretty good time. Drank for free the whole night! Met a couple really cool guys to hang with. Even met a cute chick! Super hot, but kinda weird.... she had a bit of an adam's apple. My butt hurt the next morning. Wonder what that was all about..... :tongue2_1

:eek:

Hillcrest is known locally as the "Swish Alps". A pity too, as the original Mickey Finn's, run by Fred and Mickey Finn was located there in the sixties and was one THE places to go.

I am intrigued as a lowly hovering aviator living in SD. :)
Seriously, we have MANY, MANY rotary-wing types in our group. Our monthly gatherings are "organized" by the local Tailhook Ready Room, but they are always open and attended by anyone who supports Naval Aviation. Absolutely no affiliation with Tailhook is required. And the chicks are great...at the Kilt, I mean...
