for the whole event and can enter a special raffle
for guests flying-in only. Also, their breakfast on
Sunday will be free.
Sponsor hotel for The Texas Fly-In is to be the new
Hotel Alsace in Castroville, about twenty
minutes away. Special rates for Fly-In attendees
will be available. Learn more about this by
visiting the Fly-In web site at www.swrfi.org.
For people who like airplane camping or recreational
vehicle camping, there will be more showers and
motor-home hookups than last year.
For attendees seeking guest houses, rooms, houses or
RVs for the week, consult the
Housing Bureau page on
the www.swrfi.org website
Local transportation will consist of a shuttle on
the Hondo airport, a circulating shuttle in the city
of Hondo, and a shuttle between HDO and the
Hotel Alsace. Of course there will also be
plenty of rental cars available on the airport.
Make plans now to match these Texas Fly-In plans,
and fly or drive next May to Hondo.
