SUBSIM meet 2008 ?

[GoldenRivet]

One of the planned events was the lone star flight museum...

just got pictures of it from a friend, its completely trashed. was hit by the storm surge.

most of the vintage aircraft were flown out, but some didnt manage to make it.

looks like the entire museum is a loss.

Probably get a better response on 'General Topics'. That's where all the other 'Meeting' threads are.

I know people are more important but that is a crying shame. All that hard work.

I didnt see their larger aircraft in any of the pictures.

I did see a PBY Catalina but i think it is a static display, there was also a recon J3 Cub (L4) a stearman and a few other similar aircraft.

some of the planes look salvageable but for the most part the whole complex is unrecognizable.

sad.

That is a real shame, but already booked at this end and IMO meeting people is equally if not far more important

This is true Jim.

Im just concerned about how prepared the greater Galveston area will be for the purpose of entertaining leisurely guests in a matter of just a few short weeks.

Precisely....I've just this minute come from a TS conversation with TarJak and we are hopeful Neal will post an update in a week or so as to the general situation with regards to shops and amenities etc.

We're not sure if our hotel has got any power :hmm:

Never been much of a one for candlelit dinners :p
