Subject: opportunity to explore an Alaska Airlines plane!

Have you ever wanted to have an airplane all to yourself to explore? 

 

Have you ever wished that you could go into the airplane restroom and actually "learn" how to flush the toilet by yourself? 

 

Have you ever wondered where the exit doors are? 

 

Have you ever wished you could have the time to show yourself what a face mask is and how to put on the flotation device located under the seat?

 

Don't I have an opportunity for you!!!

Alaska Airlines is offering us the opportunity to explore one of their airplanes before the holiday season begins. 

 

 

Date: November 19th, 2013

 

Time: 6:00-8:00  PM

 

Where: SeaTac Airport

 

Transportation: Because this event will take place at the Alaska Airlines hanger in a secure part of the airport, Alaska Airlines has requested that we limit to only 2 or 3 vehicles on the tarmac. DSB and VLC(Vision Loss Connections) will be providing transportation to and from this event. Please watch for further information on times and locations to meet a bus that will transport you to this event. 

 

 

Who is invited? Anyone who are blind or visually impaired and an accompanying adult.

 

RSVP: Space is limited! Please RSVP to Janet or Yang-su no later than November 10th. 

 

 

Note: The airplane we will be exploring could be called into the field to replace one that is unable to fly. For this reason we may have to reschedule at short notice. Alaska Airlines assures us that this is not likely, but they would like us to be aware of the possibility.
