First I heard of it, but just looked it up and it sounds cool. Hey Roger, If I go I may rent a plane and fly down. If I do, do you want in?

Yeah if my wife doesn't want to go, I'm game with splitting it 3 ways. Should be fun!

Been in and out of the country for work these past few months. Hopefully, I'll be "in" country come "Wings Over Houston" time.

So who's in or out and on what day?
I'm leaning towards Sunday right now, looks like the show is the same both days except saturday Fat Albert will use the JATO and not on Sunday.

rjmore · October 25th, 2009, 21:12

Heading there Saturday so the non aviation friends can see FA. Also on Sunday the Warbird area will close for the Blues and NOT reopen. Saturday it reopens until closing so if you don't get your fill then you can peruse at your leisure after the flying is done.

Just found out the other day that if we fly we have to be there by 9am and cannot leave until 5pm. Not sure if I want to commit to being stuck there all day.

To anyone that has been there, is there a whole days worth of stuff to do and look at?

Hm. sounds like that might be kind of a pain. I'm not sure now if we're going or not...I dragged her to a fly-in this weekend and we might have stuff to do around the apt so we'll see. If not at the airshow, we'd still like to get together some time.
