REFLECTOR: Update on the Velocity Builders Symposium for arriving aircraft

[Gregotto at aol.com]

Milt/Phil could you add some more info to what you have posted on the 
symposium web site:

-- Grayson County is an old military base (Perrin AFB circa WWII) 
http://www.co.grayson.tx.us/airport/airmain.htm  Note there are inactive runways. 
-- There is a small museum for the base that we can get opened up if anybody 
is interested in goign thru it. http://www.perrinfield.org/.  
-- There is a small public golf course right on the field that costs $16 to 
play all day and $9/9 holes for the cart.  
http://www.grayson.edu/update/golfcourse.asp.
-- There is a new Gander Mountain store a few miles away.
-- For the ladies, about 40 minutes down the road is the Frisco Stonebriar 
Mall. There is an enormous outside shopping/restaurants venue around the mall 
too.  http://www.shopstonebriar.com/html/storedirectory.asp.
-- Voyager Air Center on the south end of the field is owned in part by 
Jeanna Yeager of Voyager fame.  And for those who don't know Milton worked on the 
Voyager project.  Milt, what about her as a speaker?

Gang, here is some new information pasted from the Velocity Symposium web 
site, http://www.velocitysymposium.com/   
As you will see, we are announcing a very nice host FBO…
>From the FAQ:
Q:  Who is the host FBO for arriving aircraft?
A:  Lake Texoma Jet Center, Steve Wayne.  Unicom 130.35.  You'll find LTJC at 
the north end of the runway.  Steve is looking forward to seeing a bunch of 
Velocities parked on his huge concrete tie down area, with steel rings 
embedded, enough to accommodate 10 aircraft.  There are several grass areas that will 
take 10 or more Velocities.  Be sure to bring your own tie down kits, as the 
concrete spots will be first come/first serve.  Steve will also welcome camping 
on the grass area and offer a clean toilet and shower for campers.  Because 
LTJC specializes in large biz craft like Lears and Falcons he is partial to 
jets and will only allow the jet Cozy to stay in the hangar. ;-)  Recips 
outside...sorry!
Q:  How can I reach someone on approach or on the ground.
A:  Milt will have a handheld dialed into 123.45.  He'll also carry his cell 
phone, 214-957-3490.  Milt has promised he'll be out there with a full charge 
on Friday!  
A little bit more information for the non-building ladies:
 
 After the spa, enjoy a very nice lunch at beautiful Kelly's Restaurant and 
then an afternoon of shopping at the antique area (below the restaurant and 
elsewhere in town). Milt says the place is "cool."
 
Learn more at the web site, about Ladies Day.
 
Soon we’ll have the schedule of speakers and topics posted.
