Last April it was the Eclipse. THIS April it’s a GUMBO GASTROVAGANZA !

FIRST SATURDAY IN APRIL… April 5, 2025 …. This will be a FLY IN - DRIVE-IN with Optional CAMP-OUT!

Plan to Arrive by 11AM if you want to have LUNCH at OPIE’S BAR-B-QUE. Visit with fellow Aviators and Leave at your Liesure… AND/OR STAY FOR DINNER AND Camp out for the night.

Bring your Tent and/or Sleeping Bag (if you want to sleep on the Hangar Floor).

Sat Nite Dinner: Sheila Wyborny’s CHICKEN AND CAJUN SAUGAGE GUMBO… AND / OR George’s SEAFOOD GUMBO! PLENTY TO EAT! (and Drink!)

Sunday Morning: Pancakes and Sausage with Coffee, Juice, Milk, etc.

Scrounge thru salvaged and used airplane parts (for donation to TIC170A), then a Lite-Lunch will follow.

Arriving by RV instead of AC..??? Let me know to arrange / reserve HookUps (Elect and Water only)

Big thanks to Jamie and George Horn for being such generous hosts for this event! The GUMBOS were superb and the scenery was an added WOW! ! The local wild turkey flock made awesome appearances with the 10 or so adult GOBBLERS and more than a dozen jakes/hens joining in the scene. The adult males were showing off their beautiful plumage and gave us outstanding photo opportunities! And also the local 'pet deer' were in attendance. Thanks again to the Horns!
