Legally we're a state. Mentally and culturally Texas is a Republic !

I had one compliment from a Texas gal

"y'all got the purdiest blue eyes ... " and got a big smile too.

Love that accent :D

And you feel rightfully so. Texas "means friend" as an old TV ad used to say.

There is so much to see, and so many places to go! Good people, good places, and great food.

And since the main theme of this thread is Warbirds, just off the top of my head, I can mention the following places with flying warbirds:

San Antonio
Houston
Dallas
Midland
Galveston
Laredo
El Paso
Breckenridge
Austin
San Marcos
Boerne
Fredericksburg
Brookshire
Conroe
Pasadena
Brazoria
Lubbock
Sherman

And the list goes on, and on, and on....


Saludos,


Tulio

Cozmo, I was working off of the top of my head. I thought Tulio got Ft Worth, and I completely forgot about Lancaster. Why don't you add the places you know that we missed ! This could be fun ! I couldn't remember the official town that Alliance is in, though I know R Perot Jr. has his F-5 up there.

Lancaster has the highest concentration of flying or soon to by flying warbirds in the DFW area. I'm surprised that it got forgotten. :)

I count between 28 and 30 airworthy or nearly airworthy warbirds between the 2 museums and private owners on the field.

Peter, I think there are more warbirds in Texas alone than in all of England. I think North Texas would be very close to being the Warbird Capital on its own with no less than 8 museums (4 or 5 of them flying museums) in the D/FW area alone, not to mention dozens that are privately owned and flown.
