Rockport, Texas Fly-In - THIS WEEKEND! - DEC 5th!

The weather tomorrow isn’t looking so great in Rockport now. We’re going to watch it and see, but if it’s going to rain most of the day, we may hold off and come in Sunday morning instead for a few hours.
Anyone else modifying their plans yet?

Yes, I'm concerned about Saturday afternoon and evening. Weatherman calling for rain Saturday afternoon through early a.m. Sunday, then crystal clear.

Really puts a damper on things. I'm keeping an eye on it for sure!

The weather channel doesn’t have the best weather, but the aviation forecast isn’t bad at all. We are definitely coming. We have a room at the Fairfield Inn and I’m also bringing my large tent and camping gear to stay out of any rain and possible camp. My dad will definitely be at the hotel.
See everyone there. Looking forward to it.

The forecast today doesn’t make it look worth going. Too much rain. We will postpone and arrive early tomorrow when it’ll be sunny and nice. Hope all of you will still be there tomorrow.

Right there with you Tripp. The "boss" is none too excited about standing in the rain today on a windy airport on a 60 degree day. We're postponing as well.

Well the Rockport Fly In was nice today. It was a shame that only 2 of the 5 Skymasters made it, but next time hopefully it works out better for everyone. We definitely need a Skymaster fly in. We had a lot of interest.

Thanks to Jerry Brown for organizing the event and having his Skymaster there with ours.

I love the idea of a SkyMaster fly-in. Texas is too far for me to manage these days with work and life being what they are. But if there were something a little closer to home, I'd be in.
