Retired Race Plane Joins the Ranks

Daniel Rathbun has acquired a beautiful North American AT-6F.  It’s history includes winning air races in Reno, NV.  Daniel explained that the plane is not correct to original specs because it was modified for racing.  It seems that the aircraft will now be housed in our hangar with the other CAF and member-owned aircraft.  Take a moment to come by and see it.  I’m sure that Daniel would be happy to discuss his newest acquisition.

Warbirds & Wheels: Another Great HSW Event

The 2016 version of the Warbirds and Wheels car show came off without a hitch on Saturday, March 19.  Approximately 80 vehicles registered and awards were presented to about 20 owners.  478 people came through the front door and we charged $5.00 per family.  Proceeds from the door and registration are to be shared with the Permian Basin Honor Flight.

Thanks to all who made this possible with special cudos to show organizer Bill Coombes, and sponsors: Texas Ford Dealers, Trinity T’s, SuperRod, Desert Squadron and the High Sky Wing.
