I'm excited to be at Old Kingsbury Aerodrome tomorrow 28 April 2012 for the Pioneer Flight Museum's Spring Fly-In.  Can't believe I get paid for this!  If you haven't been yet, you need to go.  Old Kingsbury Aerodrome houses a truely unique collection of vintage aircraft and vehicles with a focus on World War One.  The mostly volunteer staff of the Pioneer Flight Museum is dedicated to preserving and operating these great old machines.  The fly-in provides the museum with an opportunity to show off and hopefully raise funds to help maintain its wonderful collection.  The event is free with donations accepted.  Aviators from all over fly-in to the grass airfield to participate.  You're liable to see lots of classic and homebuilt aircraft if you attend.  Hot rod clubs have also been known to show up.

Old Kingsbury Aerodrome is in Kingsbury, TX.  Take Highway 183 south from Austin to Luling and turn right on Highway 90 going towards Seguin.  Go west about 10 miles to Kingsbury.  As your coming into Kingsbury turn left on FM 1104.  Go south on FM 1104 about 1 mile.  The aerodrome is on the right.  Here's a link to the Pioneer Flight Museum Website for a map.
