Space Port... Boca Chicka

Max-1

Orbiting Earth
I am wondering if there is interest in a bunch of us flying down to Boca Chicka to ogle SpaceX.

Plan is to fly to Brownsville rent a car and go to the SpacePort and see what's going on.
 
I would potentially be interested if I happen to be in Corpus when it's planned. I'm hoping to spend some time down there next month.
 
Well sounds good, Dredd wants to go down next month, when will you be ready to go Charlie?

I am trying to maximize the group. And what kind of airplane do you have Charlie and what airport are you at?
Dredd what kind of airplane do you?

I have a Sierra the airplanes will mean a speed timing thing. So we all arrive at more or less the same time.
Also it would be good if we all list our airports or at least cities and airplane model right by our name profile.
 
Next month works for me I’m in La Porte Texas but I’m a merchant marine and I’ll be off work next week till February. As long as the super is good to go I’ll be able to go any time up to thanksgiving week.
I have a Super III and I’m based at T41 just out side of Houston

CharlieC, If you're ever up around 00R (Livingston, Tx) stop in and say HI! Our hangar is the green one on the airpark side. You can park in the grass by the gate, or if I know you are coming, I can open the gate so you can park on our ramp.
That goes for the rest of you guys too!!!!
 
Sounds good, I’ll definitely let you know if I’m headed that way! Let me know if you ever end up in T41 la Porte.

Max, I'll be in a ground pounder. Most likely I'll have something with enough room for a few people.

I'm a definite tentative at this time though. If I can firm up some plans, I'll commit.
 
Looks like I'd have time to go the 23rd or 24th. I can't really afford to spend a whole day driving down from Corpus and back though. If either of you would be so gracious to pick me up in Corpus and fly down, I'd be in. It looks like it'd be a neat flight along the coast. Otherwise I'll be interested again when I'm back in a few months.
 
I am in middle of some business adjustment so I am moving the expedition to Boca Chica to January.

I ended up flying down to Corpus, then ended up flying down to South Padre. Elon happened to be there presumably preparing for the Starship test fire. His Gulfstream was at the FBO I flew in to.. I thought that was pretty cool.
Just eyeballing it, the launch site appeared to be at least a 45 minute round trip so we didn't go out there. We just went out and explored the island.. which we found to be underwhelming.

Must be a cool feeling to jump into your own Gulfstream to go launch your own rocket.
