    I wish that I could be there with you but I have a big art show to set up plus a couple of weddings in the family. Sounds like fun and your airplane will be a big hit even if it isn't a WW1 example. Interesting thing happened last Sat. morning. The local Lowe's store is just south of the airport here and as I was leaving, two older flying machines were leaving the airport southbound and flew right over me...an L-5, and a beautiful " Cardboard Connie". Obviously heading for the Olympia Airshow. I felt like an old firehorse when the bell rings and almost hopped in the car and took off after them. Those were fun days.

    Well, considering that this WW1 airdrome is 1200 feet of grass field and it will be 100 degrees and 4000' density altitude, I don't imagine I will be flying in... :)

    Well, I didn't have any knowledge of that field and I wouldn't try it with the T-28 either. But, you will have a good time, I'll bet.

    Seguin, TX is a REALLY small town!
    Not far from San Antonio....or New Bransfels.

    But, a neat place, let me see who's playing Gruene Hall!

    Been spending time up the road in Austin, so this would be fun!

    Jimmy Vaughan here, Friday night though....:rolleyes:
