What a Turn-out...of ALL types!
I must admit, I almost never go to Brenham on a Sunday....what with so many local types driving out after church, the diner can be full ten minutes after it opens! But today was so nice especially after yesterday - yuck!), I decided to make an exception, and was glad I did. When I was 30 miles out, the pattern already sounded full - and not just with RV's. I was glad I go there early and found a few RV friends already with a table - ten minutes later, the place was packed, and the ramp was full. There were numerous different types of homebuilts, Cessnas, Bonanzas, Mooneys...a couple of aircoupes....hey, the ramp looked like a mini Oshkosh! And I didn't blame anyone - it was a great day. When I was ready to leave, airplanes were still coming in, and within about a minute, there were seven planes in a conga line headed to 34 for departure - and the parking places we'd vacated were already filled!
With all the new towers that have sprung up in Texas in the past couple of years, I hope the FAA doesn't get wind of this place....Thanks to "hecilopter" for planting the seed for today!
