    1/28			Langley Car Show    --- Hampton
    
        {--just in---}
    
        The 1st Fighter Wing, 1st Maintenance Group, on Langley Air 
        Force Base is indeed hosting a car show this Saturday, the 
        28th, as a fundraiser for their "Maintenance Professional 
        of the Year" (MPOY) ceremony; the monies they hope to raise 
        from this car show will go toward covering the cost of 
        award banquet for the maintainers who keep our F-22 Raptors 
        in the air.  There is an updated flyer attached that has 
        changed some of the information from the previous flyer.
    
        There will be trophies and door prizes available, and the 
        entry fee is $15. The event will start at 10:00 a.m. with 
        trophy presentation at 11:45 for "top three cars" (there 
        are no classes).
        
        The event will be held at one of the hangars on Danforth.  
        Participants should enter the installation at the LaSalle 
        Gate and simply stay on Nealy Avenue which changes to 
        Sweeney Avenue upon crossing through the intersection where 
        the air memorial park is; make a left hand turn just past 
        the 1 FW headquarters building (has two model F-22s on 
        stands) and drive under the arch.
