WACO Airshow

[Jay Honeck]

Thinking about flying up to Waco for the airshow tomorrow (Sun, 6/7).

Anyone know if it's possible to fly in? What time would we have to be there before they close the airspace?

As usual, the website for an AIRshow has no information about actually flying in to their event.

You could look up upcoming TFRs and should be able to find info such as this below:

I think I'd rather fly in than drive after what their police department did a few weeks back. There's also a large rally about that planned for tomorrow. Personally, I'm boycotting Waco until there is more transparency.

I also noted an e-mail link on the web site, but it is probably too late to get a timely answer now from them.

The TRACON phone number on the link I gave should work Jay.

Thanks, guys. Way too early for us to get there, so it's off to the new restaurant at Gulf Coast Regional (LBX) instead!

We have had 7 straight amazing flying days in a row in South Texas, and everyone is taking advantage of it. After 5 months of crap weather it's great to hear Unicom alive again!
