📣 Cancelled: National Museum of World War II Aviation Visit
2022-07-16 09:00 - 14:00 | National Museum of World War II Aviation, 755 Aviation Way, Colorado Springs, CO, 80916, United States
National Museum of World War II Aviation Visit

When: July 16, 2022 9am
Where: National Museum of World War II Aviation, Colorado Springs, CO
Cost: $17.00 for adults and $15.00 for seniors Guided tour an additional $5.00
Host: Andy Mortenson

The National Museum of World War II Aviation in Colorado Springs documents the role that military aviation played in the emergence of our nation as a world power during the Second World War. Through a combination of its aircraft collection and other exhibits, the museum tells the story of our nation’s tremendous technological advancements during the war that were essential to the success of the Allied war effort.

The museum displays a wide array of fully restored aircraft that represent all aspects of America’s involvement in World War II. Most of the aircraft are meticulously restored to flying condition, and many are flown at air shows. (For those who shared our visit to the museum back in 2019, the new hangar has since been completed and many aircraft that were in storage are now on display.) The visit also includes the WestPac Restorations facility which is adjacent to the museum.

WestPac Restorations is a premier World War II aircraft restoration and maintenance facility. WestPac is a highly specialized FAA-certified repair station that includes paint facilities, a prop shop, and a full service metal forming shop. WestPac has been closely affiliated with the museum since its inception, and allows public access to its facility through the museum’s docent-led tour program.
We plan to take the10:30 AM tour which includes WestPac Restorations. We’ll meet at Cabela’s sporting goods located on the southwest side of the intersection of I-25 and Ridgegate Parkway in Lone Tree. We’ll leave at 9:00 AM and convoy down to the museum which is located on the south side of Colorado Springs. Please note that there is an admission fee of $17.00 for adults and $15.00 for seniors. The guided tour costs an additional $5.00. While the tour isn’t required, it’s highly recommended.

As an optional extension to the museum visit for us aviation junkies, lunch will be available at “The Airplane” restaurant adjacent to the Radisson Hotel which is near the museum. The restaurant is built in and around a 1950’s era Air Force KC-97 Stratotanker airplane like the one flown by ZCCC member Steve Robertson.

Contact Andy Mortenson if you have any questions.

2022 ZCCC Bike Ride II
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT THE BIKE RIDE IS CANCELLED. OUR HOST DOES HOPE TO RESCHEDULE BUT IT MAY BE NEXT YEAR. APOLOGIES.

When: August 20, 2022 at 9:30 AM
Where: Parking Lot of Denver Mattress/Furniture row at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Ave. in Aurora
Host: Andy Mortenson

As most of you know by now, I had to cancel the May 21st bike ride due to the snow storm. I’ve decided to reschedule the ride for Saturday, August 20th. Join us for the 11th annual ZCCC Bike Ride. We’ll meet at 9:30 AM in the parking lot of the Denver Mattress/Furniture Row store located at the intersection of Parker Road and Quincy Avenue in Aurora. The lot is located on north east corner of the intersection across from the Sinclair gas station. We’ll ride along the South Cherry Creek Trail 12 miles to Parker and back. We’ll have lunch in Parker at the Hickory House restaurant. If 12 miles is a little too far, you can begin the ride at the Cherry Creek Trail Head located on the south side of Arapahoe Road just east of Jordan Road in Centennial which will just about cut the length of the ride in half. Those planning to do the shorter ride should be at the trail head by 10:00 AM and wait to join up with group starting at the Furniture Row parking lot. The trail is relatively flat all the way to Parker so this will be an easy ride. Note: E-bikes are welcome (unless you want to get some real exercise). Please contact Andy Mortenson if you have any questions.

Event Organizer: Art Singer
Please click this PDF for complete event details: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ovPVhJzycC8KWQYRd_7pIQTe1jJMDuTA/view?usp=sharing

Three years ago Roy Davis and Art Singer put together the idea to have a drive between the Colorado and Albuquerque Z car clubs, and that is now happening. We’re also being joined by folks from the east and west coasts to include Kenny Ueda (Johnnie Gable’s son), and Walt Bailey from Georgia. Please join us for a magnificent drive across several mountains to Pagosa Springs and back. The drive itself will be Saturday, starting at 7:30am, driving across four mountain passes, and totaling 450 miles with about 8 hours of scenic driving. Art Singer of the Albuquerque club will be leading the drive. Several stops along the way for breaks and photo opportunities will give plenty of time to stretch your legs, socialize, use the rest room, and fill your tanks. This includes a 2-1/2 hour stop in Pagosa Springs for lunch and exploration. The intent is to arrive back in Trinidad for dinner at Rino’s @ 7:30pm with enough time for everyone to freshen up beforehand. Before the drive on Friday the event will start for those who can make it by then at the Art Cartopia Museum at 3pm, followed by a break then dinner at the Club 14 Garden Grill & Pub. While bringing your Z is preferred, it’s not a hard rule and you can bring another vehicle if needed.
If you have any questions, feel free to send (Art Singer) an email (arts.zccm@gmail.com), text or phone message to 505-835-9170. Hope to see you all there.

Just past the intersection where US Hwy 160 and RT 84S connect you will see the Junction Restaurant (401 E. Pagosa) on your left. I picked this place since it had a lot of parking space.

Native Americans mined minerals from this site to make pigments. Evidence shows this site was explored by humans up to 9,000 years ago. We will enjoy a nice drive to the park than walk the formations at your own speed. Afterward, we will drive to Calhan and have lunch at Karen’s Kafe and Stephanie’s Bar & Grill (one place, two names). Bring a camera!

The Tallow River Trappers of the SPRHS hold an annual rendezvous at Ft. Lupton in late February each year.

The Ft Lupton park contains a replica of the 1830s trading fort, a trappers cabin, pioneer farm house and barn.

There will be a trader’s row where trade and craft goods are sold. If you want to join in the reenactment, you can buy your buckskins, coon skin hat, and supplies. There is a shooting range in the park for black powder musket shooting competitions and demonstrations. Dress warm! Leave your Z in the garage and drive your AWD to this event. It will not be canceled because of snow or cold.
After the event, we will drive into town for lunch at a local restaurant.
