Why does AOPA only have their meetings on the coasts.

Dallas is nice and centrally located. I do about three different
(non-aviation)conventions a year and they all rotate east coast, west coast,
central US.

I agree with that. I would love to see something done in either Dallas or
Houston.

I would say Galveston over Houston any day... (I live in between the
two, and would say the airport at G-town is better suited.. one
convention center nearly on-site.. and one about 1.5 miles down the
road... A waterpark and a few tourist attractions nearby for the family..

But yea.. Dallas/Htown/OKC something along those lines... would be great.

Kind of neat the way that Schlitterbahn created the water park on land
rented from the airport... You can park your plane at the terminal
(for free) and walk across to the water park... It's probably closer
than the normal parking lot unless you luck out and get one of the
spots up front... If I remember right, it's only a 2 or 3 block
walk...

Agreed... Dallas I would probably go to, Houston I would definitely go
to... New Orleans wouldn't be bad either...
