His only reservation might be that he can't really do a lot of preparation on the place or provide much in the way of transportation arrangements or food, etc...because hes getting less mobile with his age.We held many fly-ins at Deer Pasture in the 1980s. Its a perfect Piet field. It is 2000 ft grass with restroom facilities. My dad keeps his 1929 Curtiss Robin and his 1936 Waco there. Perhaps Deer Pasture could be a Piet campsight during the weekend....and a good place to get away from the warbird activity.

Mike, I should be able to make the get-together at Burnet, that's a pretty short hop from Spring near Houston. If the weather permits, I'll be flying in, not in a Piet unfortunately, but in a Cessna 177, N2934X. If bad wx, I'll drive. The only wildcard is how much work that my wife judges is done at our new house. We're moving, and will be in our new house by 10/1(crossed fingers!). A fly-in would be a nice break from paint and paper!Many thanks!Gary Meadows________________________________________________________________________________

To all those in Texas and neighboring states.......The weather is great and while it is still cool (under 100 degrees)it is time to think about a good old Texas Piet - GN-1 fly in.I don't mind helping put it together. The first year can be simple.We need to put together a list of who would like to attend. If they are going to fly in and if so what kind of plane. From theabove information we can determine a geographical area of thestate to hold the fly in. Heck, you really can't have a social eventin Texas without some kind of a barb-que cookout and somethingto wash it down.If there are guys and ladies out there who are interested in participating, please let me know and we will get started on it.Please send your response and/or questions to:Mike King4119 Kentshire LaneDallas, Texas214 905-9299________________________________________________________________________________
