In the recent past this event was in Abilene, Texas during the fall and was not the most attended event (nothing against Abilene, but I have no desire to go there). Before Abilene it was in Kerrville and was a pretty good event from what I am told. However, in Abilene it only had about 20 venders attend. Ok, here is the good part. The SWRFI has been moved to the spring and is now in New Braunfels, Texas. Unlike Abilene, IMHO, New Braunfels is a excellent destination even without an fly-in/air show. Pres. Bush keeps coming to Crawford in the area....but the TFR IS NOT around this airport.. It is in the most beautiful part of Texas (I am biased, I went to college a few miles north), is home of the worlds largest water park (Schliterbaun...Sp?), many antique shops. The World Famous "Greune Hall" (pronounced Green)....you know the place....John Travolta did his angle dance there in the movie "Michael"...it has been in several other movies as well), the busiest recreational river in the US (the Guadalupe) and many, many other things for you, the S/O, friends and family to do. AND....from the last report I got yesterday, it has 96 vendors confirmed, including Vans and Aircraft Spruce among others. If you have ever been to the central Texas Hill Country, you may have some insight as to one reason this may become a premier event....look out Sun & Fun My EAA Chapter, Chapter 12 from Houston, will be guiding aircraft to parking...so wave as you go by. More info can be had at http://www.swrfi.org/default.htm If you don't already have plans for mid-May.....I think this would be worth you time.
