There Vill be Varbirds- Vest Houston Airport April 21-22
Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:44 am
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. 
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
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!
I might go out to the airport and find they have built a dam out of it.
