You got it Ed, my cell phone number is 832-818-CELL (2355). It is T-Mo= bile so it is a bit hit or miss :-( Thanks for the consideration.&nb= sp; Anyone in the area, please feel free to use it to contact me.

Ellington is still pretty interesting. I will have real live ast= ronauts stop by periodically. I am still eight years old when it come= s to NASA....I feel like I am a kid in a candy store. My hangar mate purcha= sed his bright yellow long EZ from a former space jockey just before he passed away. My hangar mat= e, Richard Sessions, is rebuilding his engine ( a Lyc ) as we = speak. We also get a pretty large number of war birds, usually in con= nection with the Collins Foundation. They use to have a B-25 stationed there, but I think they moved it to Florida.&= nbsp; They still have a number of older jets and choppers around.

The flying Guppy is stationed here. They are building a new hang= ar for it and it is huge. The Guppy is a sight to see landing.

I hope your sister can make it........sorta <g>

All the best,

Chris

Thanks, Chris

Appreciate the offer - However, I am fairly certain that I am going to= be on a tight schedule to get one of my sisters to/from the family reunion= so she doesn't miss work. But, should that change (like she decide n= ot to go), then I'll certainly reconsider.

How about a phone number I could contact you if the possibility of a v= isit occurs.

I flew into Ellingtion field back in 1959 as an Aviation Cadet - I rem= ember they were still conducting some training up there in WWII B-25 that h= ad been modified as Navigation trainers. Long time agon.

I know you will be on a tight schedule, but feel free to head to Llano= through Houston and stop by Ellington Field (EFD) . (yea= h, this is what you get when you let folks know you will be in the same sta= te...invites)

Yeah, likely a bit too much of a diversion, but I would love to share = my project with ya. Other than, perhaps, Tracy, you are the pe= rson I would most like to check out my project, especially at this stage wh= ere so much "real" progress has been made.

Please, do yourself and your family a favor while in Llano and check o= ut the best, "nasty" BBQ I have had anywhere; at Coopers.&nb= sp; http://www.coopers= bbq.com/ If I ever get flying reliably, it will be on= e of my Hundred dollar hamburger/bbq trips. Llano is in th= e Texas Hill Country. I went to school in San Marcos (also in the Hill Country) and it reinforced my love for the region. = ; I have not been to Llano in about two years when my buddy and I went to a= Jeep Jamboree (his big hobby is off roading) but the BBQ was gooooo= oood.

Uh, enjoy the DRIVE ;-)

All the best,

Hi Doug,

Actually had thought about doing something similar - however, I will h= ave to wait until I get to Louisiana and determine what the schedule really= is - one of my sisters works so would be on a some-what tight time t= able. Yes, would be interesting to see Marks PP 20B, but will just have to wait until later to see.
