Diana, it was my pleasure to do this for someone whose hospitality is also hard to beat. I've not experienced it personally, but I've seen posts from others on here who have, and that's enough for me. Be sure to let me know if/when you come through the area. There's a grass strip not too far...

Diana, Here's the reply I got today:

I flew in there in the raffle plane last September. Very nice grass strip - also the first (and so far only) grass strip I've landed on! I believe the owner has a Stearman restoration shop on the field, so there are usually a few Stearmans to be seen there in various stages of construction. I...

+1 - I agree wholeheartedly.

I've done many sight-seeing flights in the Houston Bravo, I echo what everyone says above. Class B should not be feared. Go to http://www.houstonpilots.net and check out the article on Flying In and Around the Houston Class Bravo on the Pilot Resources page if you want some more info.

Congratulations, Jay! I'm very excited for you guys! Welcome to Texas, come on in - the water's fine! Port A isn't that far of a flight from Houston, and I know a particular raffle airplane that would love to be on static display at your grand opening (when is that, again?), if you'll have...

Been in the towers at IAH, CPR, BIL, and FWS. Also visited Houston TRACON. I found each visit to be very informative and rather easy to coordinate. In fact, I called BIL tower from the airline terminal and said that I was a visiting pilot and had a couple of hours before my flight home, would...

Tristan, any that you can't find homes for send to me and I'll put them in the museum's library.

Welcome to the board, Tim! Thanks for introducing yourself!

Good thinking!

Hey Everyone, I heard about this on an AvWeb podcast yesterday, and today I signed up to lead a seminar at The 1940 Air Terminal Museum as part of this event. An organization is putting together an event called National Learn to Fly Day on May 15, 2010, which is designed to get people...

I think you give the typical member of the American public too much credit. ;-)

Don't feel too bad - it took me 3 mins of staring at that picture before I realized what happened.

While we're on this topic, I'll put in a shameless plug: The 1940 Air Terminal Museum's Raffle Plane is on Twitter! You can follow it to learn where it will be making live appearances and some live-Tweeting from different events. It also forwards information about various museum events as...

Hi Karl, good to have you on here. I think I probably met you and Daniel Baker when I took a tour of your facility with a WAI group a couple of years ago. I was the bald guy with a goatee. Thanks for the inside scoop!

No, only if you send a direct message to poapilots will it get rebroadcast. Normal tweets will not be forwarded with this method. Yes, if you log in with the old username/password you should be able to get to a Settings page where you can reinstate the account and click an option to 'Protect...

Cool... you're welcome to crash at my place while you're here, if you'd like. It'll only cost you a ride in Air AzTruck ;-).

Matt - congrats on going to upgrade school... now you have to learn to fly from the left seat again! Ted - come to Houston, I'll introduce you to our museum president's law partner, who owns both an Aerostar and a Shrike Commander. I'm sure that if you bought the gas he'd be glad to take you...

Ted, I've said it before and I'll say it again - you really are a class act! Bravo!

Sorry, here she is: 1) The shirts she got for us for Christmas. 2) Heather and I at a Christmas party for the flight school I work for. 3) Drinking Black Cherry Margaritas at the Bombay Bicycle Club in San Antonio. 4) Showing off the Saints hats we got in NOLA on Saturday because it was...
