Anyone been to this place in West Chester? Do they have metal detectors and/or forbid carrying ?

Nice little place - very informal. No detectors at all. No idea on prohibiting, no signs posted (was there for Xmas).

THIS is good weekend to go - they have Rotofest! http://www.helicoptermuseum.org/News....asp?NewsID=23

Lots of fun.

Thanks! Yep, I went today for Rotorfest.. with my Glock.

Appreciate your msg -- without which I would have been "naked."

No problem. Hope you had a good time. Its not the most fantastic setup,. but quite nice for a private setup. The Christmas thing they have is neat as they have Santa come in on a chopper and talk to all the kids.

It was a little scary though as it was very windy out and all the people rushed out to see him land. The pilot had a rough time of it landing and at one point the blades dipped pretty close to the crowd (who are about 50 feet away - not much at all if a big gust comes up). Next year we are staying inside until Santa gets out of the chopper.
