As I remember, I let the Republic on a HOT August 3rd and Arrived at a little Texacan cowtown called San Antone at about 2230hrs. If my memory serves me(it WAS 1978) the terminal was as hot and humid inside as it was outside in Maine at NOON! And then we got to fart around Lackland AFB until about 0100hrs. It was STILL HOT! But I still say that anything over 65deg is too warm and over 80deg is HOT!

Brandon,

If time allows it, and if you have a car, San Marcos, TX (North from San Antone on I-35) should have at least a P-40, a T-33, a P-39 and other aircraft, to see. The CAF squadron there is housed in a hangar that is a national architectural landmark.

On I-10 West, there is Boerne Stage Field, with another CAF squadron, but for sure they are only open during weekends.

If time permits, and if you are interested, you could visit the Mooney aircraft factory in Kerrville; but in order to do so, you must be there by 0900 because they only have one tour a day if I recall correctly; you take I-10 West to Kerrville, and look for the factory at the local airport.

Stinson Field has already been mentioned.

Hope you enjoy San Antonio, heat and all!


Saludos,


Tulio
