Let’s not forget the other activities. The world-famous Ft. Worth Stockyards are minutes away where you can experience a real cattle drive of Texas Longhorns. There are authentic cowboys/cowgirls, music, saloons, rodeos and more in the historic district made famous by John Wayne, depicting reality on the Chisholm Trail. Bring your hat and boots or buy some new ones. You can tour the Sid Richardson Museum just blocks from the Omni, visit Ft. Worth Water Gardens across the street, or take the train for an afternoon of shopping in historic Grapevine.
Something new was created –the first LPBA Virtual Airshow at Winter Conference 2026, which hopefully can continue at future conferences. It is open to all LPBA members, not just conference attendees, it provides an opportunity to share aviation pictures, videos and other interesting aviation activities to spark reminiscence and discussions of our shared passions. Please take a moment to ponder and send in your entry or two.

And lest we forget ... A hearty thank you to our sponsors in Mt. Dora, and the sponsors for Ft. Worth. In addition to continuing our Virtual Airshow we will be adding another new feature to this conference. Each sponsor will be introduced at the opening reception and provided with an opportunity to speak to the group. Whether it is just “Howdy and welcome to Texas” or a bit more personalized information, will depend on the crowd, timing and number of sponsors. Everyone will get a minute in the spotlight with additional time allocated per level of sponsorship. Also, the sooner you sign up, the better, as sponsors go LIVE on LPBA website when officially signed up.
