REFLECTOR:Southwest Regional Fly-in

[Christopher Barber]

Also, note, that SWRFI starts on Friday the 16th and has many events on that
date.  Very few events on Sunday...from what I understand.

All the best,

Chris

Hello Guys!

    Well, everything you've heard from Chris is absolutely true, and there's
going to be a lot more than that before it's all over.  Southwest Regional
Fly-In, founded by the late master, Tony Bingelis, is rapidly on it's way to
becoming an event like Sun and Fun except for one thing.  --  It's not as
dreadfully long, and it's much less expensive.  Although this is it's first
year at New Braunfels, Texas (BAZ,) it has already broken all records for
the event by multiple times!  We expect it to take a few years to mature
into a national major among airshows, but there's absolutely no doubt that
it will. --  We have the epic real estate trilogy:  LOCATION,  LOCATION,
LOCATION !!!  We're 30 minutes from San Antonio, 30 minutes from Austin, and
just a short hop from Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Houston.  Take a look on Air Nav
at BAZ to see one pretty airport that is the new permanent home of the
event.
    I don't think the Velocity factory will be here this time unless Duane
has changed the plans recently, but it wouldn't hurt for you guys to tell
him about what he's missing :-)  I don't think they realized early on in
their calendar of events what the Southwest Regional Fly-In was developing
into.  -  It's caught a lot of people by surprise!  In the meantime it would
be cool if everyone flying a Velocity in would give Chris a call to let him
know to expect you, and if enough of you are going to come down for the
gracious Texas hospitality and the great show, maybe he could arrange for
all you to be parked in one conspicuous show-off area :-)  Maybe next year
we could all meet up at Stinson Field on the south side of San Antonio and
fly into the airshow in formation.  Wow, would that be an eye popper!
    Hey Duane, I know you monitor this newsletter, what do you think?  How
many Velocities could we put in the air next year?  If RV's com in together
it just looks like a bunch of little airplanes coming in to land, but if
there were a few dozen Velocities; well that's something you have to
witness...

Tailwinds,
Robin
