Judging based on the information that Scott and Lewis have over the last months I’d say that is highly unlikely.pjc747 wrote:Two projects are hopefully:

Re: Secret mission
Well, Scott let slip a little on Wednesday. Flightaware tracked the Aerostar from south of Dallas to Austin. Don't know if that's the final destination, but I know of more than a few interesting airplanes in South Texas that he could be visiting.
Re: Secret mission
B-25 in San Marcos!

Haha, Maybe he is doing another 172, the N80991 of MrAviation101?CAPFlyer wrote:Well, Scott let slip a little on Wednesday. Flightaware tracked the Aerostar from south of Dallas to Austin.

All the Accusim-planes are in my hangar, but they aren't sitting long enough for their engines to cool much before next flight!

Darn...next time he will be going nap-of-the-earth, with transponders and lights out.CAPFlyer wrote:Well, Scott let slip a little on Wednesday.

Re: Secret mission
That's what I started to post the other day and then deleted it. Outside of the fact that TX is the warbird capital of the country, doing a little research in the last couple days uncovered some cool potential aircraft in the area - both residents and some that are passing through that airport in a group...on a tour...and will be there for three days...CAPFlyer wrote:Well, Scott let slip a little on Wednesday.

San Marcos is a very intriguing destination...CAF Central Texas Wing is based there. In addition to the B-25 mentioned above, there is a newly arrived and restored C-47 (may actually still be absent..) and a newly restored C-45. There are others as well, some privately owned by CAF members, stashed in various places in their very interesting hanger! A P-39 comes to mind.

Re: Secret mission
I'm pretty sure the F4 is still down for winter maintenance but the Wings of Freedom tour is at Austin right now.
Re: Secret mission
Austin is also home to Redbird. So that portion of the flight might not have been an airplane visit, unfortunately.

Re: Secret mission
Or, two birds with one stone...so to speak...last time I was at San Marcos they had a Redbird facility very close to the CAF Hanger...

Re: Secret mission
If Scott was visiting San Macros, I suspect he would have flown directly into San Marcos and not Austin Bergstrom. I suspect AUS was either a stop to check in with the CF guys or a technical stop on the way to where he is.Alan_A wrote:Austin is also home to Redbird.
