Thorp Air Command - T18.net

Ok time to start talking about the Spring Fly-In. We call it "Spring" But in reality it's closer to Summer, in years past we've chosen D-Day weekend.

Here's a poll ... I'm 100% open to any of these choices and have volunteered to make arrangements.

A quick run - down

* Houston, TX *

I'm at EFD (Ellington EFB) Which is also home to the following muesums ..

Lone Star Flight Muesum http://www.lonestarflight.org
Texas Flying Legends http://texasflyinglegends.org
Collins Foundations Turbine Fleet (F-4, A4, F-100, T-33, Huey, etc ..)
NASA (of course) http://www.nasa.gov

We also have plenty of places to flyout for lunch/dinner

* Fredricksburg, TX *

We've done this before but it's always a great place to visit ... numerous Winery's in the area, Great little town, Maybe a flyout to Bernie's place

* Gastons, AR *

This is in Gary Greens neck of the woods .. looks like a really cool resort, fishing, nice grass strip, Gary's place a few miles away.

I agree with Bob as we have a grandkid graduating

Karen & I will try to attend any of these. I have never been to Houston, sounds fun.

I will vote for Fredericksburg.

It now appears that the first weekend in June is optimal for us. Still vote for Houston.
