Houston April Meet

[Dennis Mosley]

Hi Everyone,

It's close to that time again! Time to get the Cobras out and socialize with our Cobra buds!

This month, RAIN OR SHINE, we are going to meet at El Tiempo Cantina located at 8135 Katy Freeway. That is the place right next to 59 diner. You would take the Wirt Rd exit to get there.

Date: 4/13
Time: 10:00

Shine those Cobras up and bring them out! We will talk about cruise ideas for later in the month.

Let me know soon if you plan to attend so that I know if I should try to reserve the patio for us. Heck I will even spring for the free chip and sauce

Pass the word to those that might not get to this site very often.

See you there!!!

Sorry. I'm in Olympic-ville (Salt Lake City) with my car for the next couple of weeks. I think I've got about as much straightened out with my car (engine) as is going to get straightened out. The concensus now is that my cylinder walls are too thin. (Everything else seems to be in good order). In the last couple of days I have determined that if I stay under 2200 rpm (45 mph), the engine heat stablilizes at 215 (for at least 1/2 hour - haven't driven at that temp for any longer - 1 hour total run time).
Have a GREAT time. I hope to join you in coming months. I will be at the April meeting 'in spirit'.
(Other than David Kirkham, does anyone know of any Cobra owners in the SLC area. I've been inquiring for a year, now without much sucess).

I look forward to seeing everyone out on Saturday!

One of our group members Mike Lind has offered up a great suggestion for after the meet. There is a show of WWII and Korean war planes over near Hobby. How about those of us that have the time, cruise over there in the cobras and show our support! I think admission is around 9 bucks. Below is the email Mike sent me.

let me know what you think! We will talk more about it on Saturday.

All your hard work will be on display this weekend
along with the B-17 and B-24. And we have one more
request of you. We need volunteers to help with the
display and guide visitors.
If you can stay for half a day or all day, please come
out and help show off what we, Collings Foundation
West, have accomplished. This is our time to shine.
We are excited to have several others who will be
joining us to support our aircraft display.
Tentatively there will also be a SNJ, a Mig 15, and a
Hiller helicopter with patient baskets like the
choppers flown in the early MASH episodes.
The 6th Calvery will be on hand with several of their
WW-II vehicles and the Lone Star Flight Museum's
'Bomber Crew' will be manning our aircraft on the
ground in full period flight gear.
A Packard Staff Car is on the schedule along with a
restored WW-II jeep. These along with the above, will
be out on the flight line with the aircraft creating a
realistic WW-II flight line. Bring your cameras!
The PT boat restoration group are bringing their
landing craft to display also.
The Houston area Korean War Veterans Color guard will
post and recover the colors Friday and Saturday.
There should be some major news coverage Friday and
Saturday. We have a local teacher and one of her fifth
grade students going to Conroe and flying back in one
of the bombers on Thursday. Her fifth and sixth grade
class will also be touring our aircraft on Friday
morning at 9AM. The news guys should be climbing over
each other to cover them and of course ... US !!!
Times are as follows:
Apr 11 * 3PM to 6PM Apr 13 * 9AM to 6PM
Apr 12 * 9AM to 6PM Apr 14 * 9AM to 1PM
