T-28 GREAT NEWS!!!

The long awaited day has arrived!

After 3 plus years of restoration… The T-28 is returning to the skies!! The plan is for the Trojan to take flight between 9 & 10 a.m. this Saturday, March 16. Come out, one and all, to help cheer her onto the taxiway. Upon her return, we will celebrate with a fajita VICTORY Lunch at 11:30 in the High Sky Wing Ready Room and give a pat on the back for all of the hard work of those involved! It’s going to be a great day!

Be sure and check later for pictures and video.

Riders4Fighters Report

On Friday, March 8, about 40 people turned out to honor wounded veterans who were participating in Reel Thanx, an organization that provides wounded veterans an opportunity to relax by joining in a fishing weekend at Lake Amistad.  Unfortunately, due to short notice, the HSW was not well represented.  We hope that for the next event (3-4 times per year) we will have a bigger window to work with and more members can participate.

Riders4Fighters 3/8/13 @ 10:00 am

Please take a few minutes to show up on Friday at Midland Drive @ Tanforan (Mockingbird Heights) in Midland to show your support for wounded soldiers participating in Reel Thanx.  While this is short notice, please participate if you can.  Just show up, in your uniform shirt or jacket if possible, and support these troops, by waving the American flag as they pass by.
Please note that this is not a parade and there has been no permit issued.  The soldiers will be in cars proceeding to Lake Amistad for a fishing trip, and Riders4Fighters just wants to show their appreciation to these fine men and women by cheering them as they pass by.
