Well granted the last time i was at AC was in 96 but i can remember seeing atleast 1 imax movie that week. May have been more but i know we saw 1. What movie you'll see could vary though assumming they still show one. I also seem to remember getting some time to see the museum and stuff at the space and rocket center i know i have some pictures taken over there from that year. Hope you get to see Fighter Pilot i saw it here at our local Imax theater it was great.

I would say it's quite likely you'll see it. When I was a counselor in Summer '04 (*sigh* was it really that long ago?!), the ACers all watched an IMAX helicopter movie...

OMG! I've seen that helicopter movie so many times (EALD) plus during the week at camp. I would always jump out of my seat when the missles flew off that helicopter.
Anyways, when I was at ASA this February, we didn't see red flag during the week. They took us to magnificent desolation- its actually very good, but if you are doing EALD you could see red flag.

if you're going to AC, you will (schedule permitting) go see Red Flag. I have seen it so many times, I can quote the movie... And say it pretty much verbatim with the movie.

Oh the joys of being a night counselor down at the lake.... :-P
