SWRFI
Hondo, Texas
June 3, 2007

Apollo 13 Mission Director Gene Kranz spoke at the closing banquet Saturday night in Hondo, Texas. This national treasure related the events of the ill-fated mission from the man at the center of the action. The fly-in attendees listened with rapt attention and heard not only the story of the mission that was immortalized in the recent motion picture of the same name, but learned of the attitude and integrity that the early space pioneers adhered to.

750 aircraft visited the major southwest aviation event and 6500 people walked through the gates. Exhibitors offered something for every aviation enthusiast and the variety of homebuilt, classic and Warbirds were a sight to behold.

Next years fly in will be in mid-October or early November, so check www.swrfi.org for updates.
