| Description: |
I sure do like Temple. Formerly known as the
Georgetown (Central Texas) Airshow, this two day event is just
relaxing for our club. We are in good standing with the show
organizers and ramp boss's in that we are assigned our own area of
the spectator infield viewing section. This section is roped
off with only a few access points for spectators to come in and
out and when the show starts, we close off access.
I also cook at this event and everyone enjoys the burgers,
migas, or whatever I whip up.
We also spend the night (or two) in town. Many of the
folks in the larger trucks simply sleep in the bed of the truck
with a cot and full camping gear. Others, like me, opt for
pitching the tent. Weather can be hit or miss this time of
year and we are almost guaranteed at least one cloudy day or
torrential downpour. This year was great in that there was
no rain prior to or really during the show. One evening a
bit of rain and wind came through, but not like in years past.
As part of the show in a round about way, we participate in a
few re-enactments. Again this year we provided all the
vehicles for the Vietnam recreation which was a huge hit with the
spectators. Along with doing this, we all are issued a wrist
band that gives us all access except the hot ramps so we can
wander around the infield for some really nice picture taking
opportunities. (yeah, I need a bigger lens....) |
