Thorp Air Command - T18.net

Both places have their bullet points, I've been to both many times. Spanky is right, Fredricksburg is definitely more popular but I think you'll find that it is not touristy in the classic sense, but just enough to keep things interesting for all of us (inc the ladies). There are no Mickey Mouse signs, amusement parks or shuttle buses, just more restaurants, shopping, and bier-houses. In addition T82 has excellent facilities at the airport including a restaurant on the field etc ... and as Bill mentioned the Nimitz Museum is very good and right on main street.

I will try to make it if my plane is done by then. I had a setback. My day tipped over his breezy on the left wing. Seven day old paint. Smashed it in pretty good. Fredricksburg looks good for me. What month is the fly-in usually?

I see there have been only a few votes cast regarding the Fredericksburg Spring Fly-in. I voted for Jun 8-10 but am fine with any of the other dates. One thing to worry about in the Texas Hill Country during that time of year is thunderstorms. Those massive lines of growlers may be less likely in early June than in late April or May. Any date is a crapshoot though. The ealier in June we have it, the less likelyhood of excessive heat. July and August in Texas is just a struggle to survive.

I voted June 8-10 as well. Karen and I will try to come any time but our local EAA fly in breakfast with the world famous airplane shaped pancakes is June 3 so I am hoping not to conflict with that. Looks like Lee has been busy with the computer again, the new website looks like it is going to be pretty neat.

Ok guys I apparently only 11 people have voted on the Spring Fly-In date. Are there really only 11 people interested?

Let's get some votes on the board people!

I believe I voted before for the May date. However if it will help I will vote again.
I will attend whatever the dates if possible.

Nah .. can't vote twice my friend! It won't let you!

So maybe I'm a caveman, but I can't figure out where/how to vote. No matter, whatever dates you guys choose, Spanky and I will be there. Right Spanky? Don't ask him how many hours he put on from last annual.

Cubes,

Ya gotta go to the Traveling Air Circus (http://thorpaircommand.com/) web site to vote.
