Aviation Campout 2012

This past weekend the Team went on a campout at Gillespie Co. Airport.   

The Team had the opportunity to spend the campout in a hanger owned by Steve Allen.

Mr. Allen has been very dedicated to scouts, he has served as a Wood Badge Course Director and teaches scouts about aviation by giving the aviation merit badge course and takes them on flights in each of his three planes. 


The weather was fantastic during the day but got down to a bone-chilling 24 degrees at night inside the hanger.

In addition to having taken the merit badge class, Mr. Allen took everyone up on a flight in his vintage Cessna 195.




The following day the Team got to enjoy the Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg, Texas. Overall, the campout was a huge blast and success.

We do hope this can become an annual event.
