    Good Evening Everyone! As we are now a week away from this event, here are the logistics and special instructions for you below! This will be a fun event and I am looking forward to seeing you all!

    ??

    Arrival/Parking/Check-in:

    The New England Air Museum is located at 36 Perimeter Road in Windsor Locks, CT. Please follow the below driving directions (not your GPS else you may end up at the arrivals terminal at Bradley International Airport). When you reach the museum, please pull into the smaller, side parking lot and proceed through the open chain link fence gate on the right side of that building. Museum staff will be on hand to guide you to exhibitor parking areas. Exhibitors must unload and park in the designated exhibitor area behind the gate as parking is at a premium for visitors during this event. Thank you for your cooperation! The gate will close at 9:00am but can be opened as needed.

    ??

    All group members must arrive/check-in with museum staff at the designated check-in location between 7:30-8:30am.This location is marked with a blue star on the attached Floor Plan. You will be given a blue wristband to wear throughout the event which will notify our staff that you are a member of the 501st/R2D2 Club and therefore have access to our staff/volunteer break room in the B-29 Hangar classroom.??

    ??

    Break Room/Lunches:

    Your groups will have access to our staff/volunteer break area located in the B-29 Hangar classroom for the duration of the event. You???re welcome to store costumes, trunks, etc. in this space as well, though please do know it will be accessible by our team members. Please help yourself to the buffet breakfast treats, lunch, and water you find there. Additional food and beverage will also be available for purchase at our Kane???s Market Food Court on a cash only basis between 10:00am-3:00pm. The Food Court will once again be in the lobby this year. ??

    ??

    Event Schedule:

    SPACE EXPO will begin at 9:00am and run through 3:00pm, with the museum closing at 4:00pm. A copy of the Event Schedule is attached here.

    ??

    Appearance Schedule:

    Your appearance times in the Military Hangar (in front of the F-104 Starfighter) will be as follows: 9:30-11:30am and 12:30-2:30pm. You will be free to leave after your last appearance time ends, or you???re welcome to enjoy the event as visitors???if you???re not too exhausted!

    ??

    Mask Policy:

    The museum currently requires anyone who has not been vaccinated for COVID-19 to wear a mask/face covering while indoors. That said, characters with helmets/costume heads are not required to wear masks as we want you to breathe under those suits! Of course, anyone is welcome to wear masks if they choose.

    Out of curiosity, what???s the parking and access situation going to be for this? This will be my first troop, so I???m trying to be prepared for everything and not have to travel completely across the casino with my box because I came in a wrong entrance.

    happy to help! The closest parking to the event should be the Winter Garage.

    Hey guys!??Long time no see!??

    If you have any passes for Sunday after the members get theirs,??I can be??be in kit for either one of the shifts. (Mando or twilek??Jedi whichever is preferred)??

    If there are no passes left, I will probably just get my own and attend the con anyway, so I can help out and hang around the table whenever you need.??

    Just let me know, thanks!! Can't wait to see you guys again!!

    Hey Kaila! I have put you down for Sunday AM, but if you'd prefer the afternoon that's cool too! As long as we don't go over tickets with 501st members, you should be good with a ticket.

    Crew, we are getting to the point of capacity ticket wise on Saturday. We have one spot left. Once tickets are spoken for, everyone is still welcome to troop ??and hang , as we'd be delighted to have you, but you will be responsible for purchasing their own ticket.??

    Heeeeeyyy Jason! ??Good to hear from you sir! Any did give us the heads up that you and Randy wanted to come down. If you're open to it, we could use you for the mid day shift, if no CTG members sign up. 1pm to 4pm? Would that work for you?

    I'll be heavy weapons trooper can I get a pass for Sunday for myself and my handler?

    Thank you so much sir! A pass will be available to you for that shift for sure! We cannot promise a pass to any non CTG members though. We need to see how many CTG members sign up first and if we have any spots left.
