TX June 8th, 2024 Sweetwater, KSWW

We hope all of our fly-ins are fun for everyone who can attend, but having said that, our June fly-in will be special and more interesting than our normal meet, eat, and greet.

Members Jamie and Pat Crandall have organized and arranged for us to meet at historic Avenger Field https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent ... -air-field, for lunch downtown and then visit The National WASP Museum https://www.waspmuseum.org/ .

They have coordinated with the Oil Burners chapter of the Vintage Motor Car Club of America to meet us at Avenger field and transport us to Buck's Steaks & Bar-B-Que https://www.yelp.com/biz/bucks-steaks-a ... eetwater-3 in their vintage cars.

After lunch they will take us to the museum https://www.waspmuseum.org/ where we can see displays (including aircraft) and read stories of these dedicated and brave women who served during WWII. Also on display is a Jeep restored and donated by our own member, Bob Jolley.

Just to recap, let's please arrive at Avenger http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSWW prior to 11:00 a.m. (Our reservations are for 11:00, so we'll hope to see you by 10:30, if possible). We can not taxi to the museum, so we will have to park at the FBO. We'll have a good lunch and then head for the museum. An effort will be made to carry people from the Museum back to the FBO when they are ready to leave so everyone can enjoy the museum as long as they wish but don't have to wait till the entire group is finished.
