This past Saturday, we were treated to a visit to the Flying Tiger Airport, west of Paris, for their 2018 Fly-In. It was in celebration of the nearly complete restoration of their AF-2S Grumman Guardian. She'll be in flying condition in another month or so, and will be the ONLY flyable one in the world. Here. In the middle of almost-nowhere Texas!

The owner of the airport has several warbirds of his own, including the SNJ-Texan, and others. The event was free as was the food! There were bounce houses for the little kids, and a ton of other aircraft to look at. They had a great turnout, both in fly-ins and car traffic.

| Radial engines are just cool! |
We had fun, looking at all the planes and hearing various stories of this place back in the 1970's and 1980's. Apparently it was quite the place to see, and fly warbirds!

I hope next year, there will be more old warbirds to see, and maybe watch them fly!
