I'll be there with my 9 year old grandson on Saturday Glen. Looks like it's going to be a great show. 2006 was fun - I missed the show last year.

Is the Collins Foundation UH-1E going to be there and will you be able to buy a ride? I've checked the airshow webpage but there's not much there in the way of that type of info.

Sorry I'll miss you LadyO2Pilot. I enjoyed your show in Waco this past November.

Thanks, I'll be sure to come by and say hello for sure. At the Waco Airshow this past November, I was sitting almost right behind your parking spot:

Who's that in your plane, he looks too tall and too much testosterone to be you?

No Collings Foundation Huey at Temple this weekend, sorry.

However we will be at The Texas State RR in Palestine flying rides 5-17,18. Should be a good time. It is their Salute to Veterans weekend.

Well... don't worry about it. (Must have been those B-17s coming in from the mainland.) :twisted:
