Taylorcraft Foundation News Summer 6-24-04
Heh there, how about this weather? How about those Cleveland Indians? What is going on with Taylorcraft at LaGrange, Texas? ?? Many common questions around Alliance, Oh. I just smile and nod a lot……….
What a Spring, missed Sun-n-Fun, missed LaGrange, missed Sentimental Journey, have to miss the Ohio Aerobatic Open this weekend. We are still fighting flooding and grass that just won’t quit growing. The Old-Timers had a meeting last night for their set-up for the fly-in and I had two students so had to miss that one. Well enough of this gloom & doom!!!
I will have the field mowed for the fly-in and Bruce is scrambling about to find airplane parkers, Chuck & the gang cannot make it this year, something about fighting in the Middle East (Oh boy there I go again!) I have a Scout troop to handle the auto parking and am sure somebody will pop up to park airplanes…. Any takers??
For you non-internet folks here is a partial clip from the web site that tells all:
July 9th, 10th & 11th 2004: Taylorcraft Foundation, Taylorcraft Owner’s Club, Taylorcraft Factory Old-Timer’s Fly-In & Reunion. Breakfast served Sat & Sun by EAA Chapter #82. Once again, we have the Basset Hound Waddle.
