For those contemplating attending this years LOA, and if you are interested in mysterious airplane graveyards, Check out lost destinations.com and select Fabens, Texas. The identifier is E35. It is a great little airport; home of Olivas Aviation, just East of El Paso. Aircraft such as P-51's, Me- 109's, and other exotics have been built there from the ground up. If you fuel up, you can take the courtesy car into town for a great Mexican food experience, or to visit the airplane graveyard there. It is an experience worth exploring.

Neat tip Tom - thanks! We might have to check it out this year.

Here's hoping that we'll see you at LOE, even if the -8 project is gone, you're still part of this community! Louise mentioned you the other day as we were building her tool-box project. We remembered you talking about those at Big Bend in February - it really was a great introduction to metalwork for her.

Paul: If you see the lost destinations site you will note that the "weird" coefficient is certainly high. The pictures of the aircraft, however, are very interesting.
I just returned from a week-long session with Steve (gentleman) Wolf for aerobatics up in Oregon, and pegged my fun meter to the max... The RV-8 project, however, is not gone.
My regards to the lady.
