For those of you heading South from Houston on I-45….

Just a little bit South of the Beltway 8, take the Scarsdale Exit and stay on the feeder road.

If you miss the Scarsdale Exit, there is one more after it….but it turns almost IMMEDIATELY into our meeting place, so be careful !

We’ll be meeting at the McDonald’s (look for the golden arches) there.

Hey Rob, are you one of the organizers? If so is it possible to get a picture with the jets without the entry. I'd like to get my Z and Chevelle out there, but neither are really worth being put into an actual show.

Am I not, sorry. And I can not say vehicle owners will be able to get pictures w/ aircraft.

yea, they played the whole time I was in line for food, and eating. Then as I was walking back to the cars they took a break. I guess I couldn't get a break.
