Anyone have an special plans to catch it?
The last one, August 21, 2017, I flew with some friends up to Perryville Regional in Missouri the night before to watch it. If you have never seen one, it is highly recommended.

This years is April 8th. Our plans are to fly to Temple, TX on Thursday or Friday before, depending on weather, to beat the traffic and to hang out with Tom and family until Monday and then watch it from his back yard. They are under the path of totality. Then fly home Tuesday(depending on weather).

If anyone wants to meet up in Temple, I could be over there on Saturday. I am afriad that Temple will become a zoo on Sunday as all airports under the path will become madhouses. When we went to Perry Regional, there were at least 500 planes on the ground the day before.
The Monday, April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
