Four of us met at the Texas Antique Aircraft Assoc. fly-in at Gainesville, Texas (KGLE) for lunch at the Smokehouse Barbecue restaurant just down the road. This date, exactly at lunch time, just happened to coincide with an annular solar eclipse, and we were very close to the optimum path for viewing. Nancy had found some inexpensive glasses that allowed us to safely view the progress of the eclipse. Quite a cool coincidence!

The weather was beautiful, the food great and we had a very nice visit. Hope to see you November 18th for Babes Chicken House in Sanger, Texas.
