***West Texas Warbirds 2014***
Hello everyone!
The members of the Wings Miniature Aircraft Society of Lubbock, Texas wish to announce the seventh annual, WEST TEXAS WARBIRDS event on August 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2014. Come join us for a great weekend flying your military aircraft in campaign colors and markings. Scale military helicopters are also now welcome! The event will be held at the club field in Abernathy, Texas, just a few miles north of Lubbock, on I-27. Landing fee is $30.00 and will include a meal ticket for the onsite food vendor (combo meal), good for Saturday or Sunday. Onsite concessions, cool souvenir T-shirts, pilot give-a-ways and raffle items will all be available. Participants will be eligible for five beautiful awards that include Best WWI, Best WWII, Best Modern, People's Choice and Best Scale Flight.
The Wings' club field is BIG and features a 1300+" X 75" paved runway and a adjacent grassy area, suitable for larger aircraft use. The field has ZERO obstructions, so you will not hit a tree or run off the end of the runway at this field! The wide open flying area is perfect for larger aircraft, multi-engined craft, turbine jets or whatever your warbird heart desires. The field has provisions for 6 pilot stations, a startup area and taxiway and has a 110' covered pit awning. Easy-Up portable shades are welcome. Motor homes are welcome for overnight camping, but no hook-ups are available. Several moderately priced hotels and restaurants are a short drive away in Lubbock.
If you haven't been to participate, you're simply missing out ona great flying event. Come join us!
