Autos & Aeros at Ellington Field in Houston 5/12

[docket]

If anyone is game to do this again this year please let me know -- its in about 3 weeks.  You will have to be there about 7:00 a.m. and this year you are stuck until the show ends at 4:30.  They say that we cannot come and go during the show which is kind of a bummer.  But it is a good show and this year they are going to have a 1/2 mile shootout for the cars.  IF anyone is interested please PM me or call me at 713 253 5382.  Eric

Here is the rest of the information:

 

Mr. Lipper,

 

Thank you for your interest in the 4^th Annual Aeros & Autos event.  It will be held at Ellington Airport on May 12^th and will benefit the USO and Texas Lions Camp. 

 

The set-up this year will be completely different than the past 3 years.  Two of Ellington’s three runways will be closed during the event.  Runway 17L-35R will hold the static aircraft, car show, and vendors.  Right across from it, Runway 4-22 will hold the Houston Half Mile Shootout (The Houston Mile) where car or motorcycle owners can race the clock, one vehicle at a time, down the runway. 

 

If you would like to bring a static aircraft for display or reserve a vendor space, please give me a call.  To aid in visibility of your vendor space or aircraft, we will attempt to mix them in with the car show vehicles as much as possible.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

I talked with Kristy and she now says that we can set up somewhere at the end of the taxiway and people can depart the show early.  I don't know if that makes anyone think differently.  If that spurs any interest in a group getting together let me know.
