EAA Texas Fly-In Moves 2007 SWRFI To Early June

Don't Mess With Mother's Day!

The EAA Southwest Regional Fly-In, seeking to avoid conflicts with competing events, today announced that in 2007 The Texas Fly-In will take place on June 1st and 2nd. In 2007 and subsequent years, the venerable regional EAA get-together will be held at Hondo, Texas during the first full week-end in June.

The 42nd Annual EAA Southwest Regional Fly-In at Hondo Municipal Airfield in 2006 was better attended than at any other time over the past ten years, enjoyed virtually perfect weather and was judged by
all to be extremely successful. However, in the opinion of some EAA
members many more airplanes and people would have come to the SWRFI if it had been held on any other week-end than Mothers Day.

Another kind of schedule conflict is the large number of school graduations customarily held throughout the region during the month of May.

When confronted with the choice of attending The EAA Texas Fly-In versus taking one's wife or mother to dinner, or of witnessing a child or grand-child graduate, many members of the organization elect to stay home and put on neckties.

Attendance for the two-and-a-half-day Fly-In in 2006 was 6,100, the largest crowd to attend the SWRFI in ten years. Seven-hundred sixty aircraft flew to the event. By moving the date to the first full week-end of June, organizers aim to make it even more attractive to pilots with families.

Plans are already aloft to improve the Fly-In through additional amenities and attractions which will be announced in due course.

The Texas Fly-In is an annual sponsored event of the Experimental Aircraft Association's Southwest Regional Fly-In.
