 Greetings. Set your calendars for our
Lone Star Reunion 2011

Next Reunion to be in Austin, Texas.

April 14th to 17th, 2011.

When high winds caused cancellation of the flights in the World War II trainers, the group was very interested in giving it another try. Because it is easier to round up the old warbirds in the Austin area, that will be the headquarters for the 2011 reunion. We will be staying in the center of the city near downtown, the state headquarters and the University of Texas. We will spend one day at local Austin tourist sites – the State Capital and the State of Texas Museum.

As for the flying, we will travel to the town of Burnet (35 miles away) where the Highland Lakes Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force is arranging a day of flying along with a “burger burn” for lunch.

Flight priority will be given to our veterans, but after they fly, all family members will be welcome to experience a little stick and rudder time in the same planes our veterans first took to the skies.
