Some more details:

Thursday, October 21, 2010 7:30 a.m.

The tour includes visits to the flight line, the F-22 Raptor/C-130J production area, the Lockheed Martin gift shop, the low speed wind tunnel, and a C-130J static display. Due to limited space, seats are limited to the first 100 people who sign up.

Please sign up early as only two buses will be available (100 total seats)

The tour involves a lot of walking, so please do not wear high heeled or open toe shoes.

Video equipment, cameras, including cell phones with cameras, and portable data storage devices are strictly prohibited.

This last part is unfortunate, but you'll probably still be able to make a few notes and write down the registration and serial numbers of all the new planes.

My Commanding Officer, LtCol. Morris gave the speech on behalf of the Marine Corps KC-130's on the 19th. The video played in the beginning was my work, as was his power point presentation.

I stayed back and got a grand tour of the Lockheed gift shop since I wasn't able to go to the tour on.
