There Vill be Varbirds- Vest Houston Airport April 21-22

CAF- West Houston Squadron is having their Spring Open House this Saturday and Sunday. Their fleet includes an AT-6, BT-13, N3N-3, C-60, Stinson Voyager, and there will be all kinds of visitors like Fairchildren PT-19 and PT-26 and a PT-17 for the termites. :lol:

Some Old B-17 or another (TEXAS RAIDERS) will be flying in for Static tours. It should arrive around 0900, but I am not briefed specifically on that.

Any WHS WIXers can add to the list of attractions as known.

THERE WILL BE RIDES FOR SALE :supz:

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous.

Look me up WIXers- I will be in the PT-26 Good Lord Willing.

Awww... Why are we always cross-scheduled? We need some sort of master list for Texas regional events. I wish I could come but we'll be hosting our fly-in that same day here in San Antonio.

That's the beauty of it Ober... Mine being a Fleet built Fairchild I have more to worry about with beavers than termites! :lol:

I might go out to the airport and find they have built a dam out of it.

Oouch!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can pull that knife out now Lynn. Much like the Timms I have gotten rid of the AT-10 and retired as a carpenter.
