Where in the World is Warren Now?

Last week found Warren in the southern region of Texas at the Corpus Christi Air Show. Despite the winds that seemed to envelop the entire area for the week-end, and the decreased attendance due to the turbulent tornadoes, north of Corpus Christi, the Blue Angels performed with superlative precision.

Anyone that knows Warren knows his love for fly-fishing is as passionate as his love for his family. So, after braving the grueling windy air show, he set forth to Padre Island on the inlet side at the National Sea Shore, knowing full well that his tough week-end would be rewarded with the catch of the week. . . the mighty Red Fish. Wrong! The only catch of the day was a windburn!

Wind-worn and fishless, he headed east to his next destination. . .

Rather than tell you where he is headed, I will grace you with the best allusions possible.

He is going approximately 500 miles NE to an area that is in the NW corner of Louisiana. It is one of the world's largest airfields, (22,000 acres) which explains why it is also known as the home of the B-52 Stratofortresses and the KC-135 Stratotankers.

The air show will be held on Saturday, April 21 through Sunday, April 22. Some of the featured headliners are: the F-15E's, the C-17's, the C-130's, the A-10's, B-2'a, and the F-117. And, of course, the stars of the show are the Air Force's mighty Thunderbirds! They will be roaring and soaring through the blue skies of Shreveport.

Those of you lucky enough to attend the show will have another opportunity of getting a free hat with the purchase of one of our fabulous Blackbird tees, by telling Warren where he might find an easier fishing hole!

Until next week, can someone please tell me where in the world is Warren?

Where in the World is Warren?

Despite the alarming warnings of Global Warming, our New York temperatures are plummeting and the snow is continuing to adorn the otherwise bare trees. I say, "Welcome Spring!" We are back on the road and answering that all too familiar question: "Where in the world is Warren?"

Warren is on his way to NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, (this Naval Air Station is best known for repairing our military helicopters), where on April 14 - 15, the Blue Angels will, once again, daze and amaze you with their "too close, too fast, too loud" aerobatic performance. Modesty aside, AIRBORN FLIGHTWARE has the largest collection of dramatically, graphic helicopter tees in the industry, and they will be on display. If you are lucky enough to be at the show, do add AIRBORN to your "must do" stops. As a matter of fact, if you mention that you read our blog and that his wife and dog miss him, he will give you a hat of your choice for FREE, with the purchase of a tee!

Until our next landing, remember AIRBORN . . . making aviation fit to a tee!
