So with the weather bad in Florida, we are going to Ft. Worth tonight and new orleans tomorrow. If any of you want to see a T-6 on the ramp, we will be at ft worth tonight, and KNEW tomorrow.

My T-6 XC sucked! I was with an IP on BIP so we had to stick close to the flight commander. Well, his jet broke in Abilene, so that's where we got to spend the weekend!

Have fun man, and if you can go to Lake Front instead of the JRB (in NOLA). Out of there you can request the river run departure which will basically bring you up the river at eye level with the buildings downtown....keep it no slower than 200 kts (and not much more since you are under class B IIRC) and keep it over the river; use G as required to stay there. Best done as a 2 ship in cruise form position. Lots of fun and watch out for birds

we went to AFW

Didnt get into KNEW....they decided to close the tower and not tell anyone or put out a NOTAM about it so we had to divert to Lafayette, LA last night instead

Can you not land at an uncontrolled field?

Why pump your own gas when you have Uncle Sam's fuel card?

KNEW always closes in the evening Is there any reason why are you avoiding NBG?
