I used to have a load of pics from there. This seems to be all I have left from the last time the wife and I went.

Should have posted this in the FSO TBM thread month before last. :lol
-
It'll be good fun until the -4s and Tempests show up. :old:
-
This still a go?
-
Are those 465watt metal halides in the ceiling? Yuck. They should be using 265watt plasma lighting (LEP) for a museum.
-
This still a go?
I'm wondering too. It is either a trip to Cavanaugh or I have to take the wife to Pittsburg TX to get fresh peaches.. :eek:
-
I will be there at 1:00pm. I will be wearing my dark blue "CREW" t-shirt and waiting in the lobby. I recently finished the training to be a tour guide at the museum. I see Bearcat8 every time I go there (he works there).
BTW, I heard recips yesterday and ran outside to see Diamond Lil flying over my neighborhood. Diamond Lil is one of only two flyable B24s in the world. It just got repaired from a nose gear collapse landing that messed up the aircraft's chin. Good to see it flying again!

I'll see what Changeups plan is and get with Arlo. I may be stuck with the kid if I don't get something planned pretty quick. :D
-
If we can't pull it off tomorrow we shoudl reschedule for October sometime when its a bit cooler.
I'll make it if possible tomorrow and enough people are coming. :aok
-
Could see Diamond Lil in the air from my work yesterday. was good to see they got her back up. :aok I am still planning to be there tomorrow
-
This still a go?
Yup. Been awhile. Got catchin up to do. Got darts? :)
-
Crap boys I'm going to be a no-show. I went to the optometrist thinking about getting some prescription reading glasses.. Wrong! After an exam it turns out I need bi-focals. :old:
Long story short the eye appointment cost me waaay more than I expected. I spent all of the weekend enterainment budget. :( I'll catch you guys on the next one. :salute
-
Awww shucks. I would love to go but Texas is too far for me. :frown:
Have fun, post pics! :salute

Thanks, its not anything that would break me bud. I can afford it, but after losing my job five years ago it took me a while to find a another one.
I didn't have much in the way of savings then and it got tough for a while. I promised myself never to be in that predicament again. Like I said..
I can afford it, but I've gotten pretty anal about not spending anymore money than I have to. I really do appreciate the offer though TMetal. :salute
-
Understandable Shifty. Maybe next time then :)
-
Dang, and I'm out of town! :cry
-
Twas a rather small but fun little get-together. Me and the wife, Tex, Tmetal and his nephew. We talked planes, we talked AH .... we (mainly I) sweated in the hangars. It was all good. Later Tex joined me and Kelly for darts and a pint at the Londoner. The dart game was a nail-biter. Sorry everyone interested could not make it. We talked about organizing a 'Second First 2013 Annual Cavanaugh Furball the second weekend of October (yes, I listen, Shifty :) ).
And, I'm a lousy smart-phone photographer ..... :(

I was the only one taking pics. Kelly is camera shy and I didn't
think to ask her to take a group pic. :o

I didn't see you there before :O
:aok

October 12th or 19th? Let's make it happen.

How about the 12th. The 19th is the Alliance Airshow. :)

Great Pics Arlo. :salute

Thanks, Vink. :)

I had a great time, and it was good to meet a few other AH pilots in the flesh. Wish we could have hung around for the londoner, but previous plans had the nephew and I ducking out early. :salute Tex and Arlo; it was fun and hope to see yall again in October.
-
Thx for sharing the pics Arlo! :salute :cheers:

Green and grey Yak, how unique and purty.
Is that an early-model Texan/Harvard in those pictures? Never seen one before with fixed gear or such an extended engine cowl.

Ah hah, a Valient. Thanks Arlo. Texas is a little too far for a weekend excursion for me, although I might get out there sooner or later with one of our planes to Midland. Speaking of wich, and October 12th (and 13th), I think the CAF "Airsho" is going on in Midland, TX.
-
My great uncle was the tail gunner in "How boot that." I went down to see the plane a few years ago. It was a great experience and I got to go inside and see where my uncle flew his 70 missions out of corsica. I wish I still had the pics from inside. :bhead
-
<S> to your great uncle.

Ok, Texas, put it on your calendar! The next great Cavanaugh Furball will be at 1:00pm on Oct. 12th. I'll be there to provide volunteer support. I have permission from the director to access the hangar where the He111 is currently stored. It is not on display so this is a unique opportunity!

Holy moly, Tex, you rock. It's details like this that turn a low-key thing into a special event. Thank you. :) :cheers:

Arlo, where is the Airport at here in DFW? Would LOVE to attend, if the wife hasn't got other plans. :D
Never mind I found it!!!! :o

I made a thread in the o'club about it but thought it would go well here also. This upcoming weekend (10/3-10/6) the CAF Airpower Expo will be hosted at the Collin County Regional Airport in Mckinney, TX. Tex78 probably already knows about it since FiFi and Diamond lil are going to be there. This article mentions free cockpit tours of the B29 and B24 with normal admission to the show ($15-25). Just a ten minute drive from my house, you can bet I will be there. :cheers:

So.. Is this shindig still a go for Saturday?

Far as I know. No wife-ack (quite the opposite, actually).
Got darts? :)
-
Frau Shifty may have to do my dart throwing. I messed my throwing arm up last week and the damn thing won't heal.
-
The Cavanaugh Furball for Oct. 12th is a go. I said I will be there. I didn't say anywhere that had changed. I will be there no matter how many show.
Yes, Shifty, I know you have a pretty good drive over from Sulphur Springs so I totally understand that you are double checking. We need to get ahold of Padre to remind him about this as well.
By the way, we have a 30% chance of rain. This is a rain or shine event. The only thing that will stop me is hail. I'm not getting my Infinity coupe dented up with hail stones.
My cell phone for anybody attending is:
area code: two one four
498-9682
(doing the number that way so robotic spam software can't pick it up).
