La Grange (TX) Fly-In '08

Our "celebration" of August 1st (the Swiss National Holiday) was punctuated with a long-overdue visit with fambly in La Grange, where — as providence would have it — an annual Fly-In BBQ took place at the local airport. Private aircraft flew in from all over Texas to participate in a $7-per-plate fund-raiser BBQ, and locals were welcome to join in and mingle, which we did.

We had the pleasure of soaking up some Texas heat, while getting up-close and personal with a few dozen private aircraft and their handlers. Of particular interest (to Mr. Impractical, at least) was learning of the Van's "RV" Kit-Built Aircraft.

In any case, some decent BBQ was had by all, and the flames of yet another impractical interest were kindled in yours truly (thanks Mom!)...
