Valin,
 
For someone who isn't too fond of Texas you made some very nice comments.  ;-)  I agree, Fredericksburg is located in one of the prettiest parts of Texas.  I definitely plan on attending the fly-in (for the first time) as I live about 30 miles from Fredericksburg.  I had to chuckle when I realized that it would be a 30 minute trip by car from my home, or a 1 hour drive to the airport to pull out the plane and fly 30 minutes to Fredericksburg.  My wife already questions my sanity.  This would convince her beyond any doubt.

This year's Lancair Texas Fly In will guarantee we'll be there.  We live in
Houston because of our work and are not native Texans nor really "fans" of
the state overall.  I will concede, though, that the Texas Hill Country (as
they call it here) where Fredericksburg is located is one of the nicest
areas of the state.  Many "Texas Lovers" retire to or at least dream of
retiring to that area.  October is a good date for a central Texas fly in
because it will still be summer there...  The first cool front almost never
makes it through here until right around Halloween.

I can see why it would also be considered an attractive location for
Lancair's business operations.  The central U.S. location is obvious.  The
quality of life in that area is high because of the natural beauty, low cost
of living (also no state income tax like Oregon), and it is close enough to
Austin's very appealing cultural and economic center.  There's also already
an aviation skill base in the area -- the Mooney factory is in Kerrville
which is close by.  We might want to arrange a tour during the fly in...
