We ask you to join us for the SETFDA Fall Meeting at Lone Star Flight Museum for dinner, a silent auction, and to enjoy the museum.

• The evening starts at 6:00 PM with charcuterie boards for a light snack.

• There will be a silent auction with tables set up with sports and entertainment memorabilia.

• The museum will be open and free to walk and explore as we wait for everyone to arrive. 

• The dinner will start at 7:00 PM and will wrap up around 8:00 PM. 

• Dinner will consist of, a tossed salad, your choice of baked ziti or grilled chicken, a side of oven-roasted vegetables and garlic bread, your choice of unsweet or sweet tea, and finally a dessert with your choice of chocolate decadence or pistachio ricotta cake.

• From 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM, there will be a performance by Side Show Kriss Broken performing acts such as sword swallowing and much, much more. 

• The Fall Meeting will be hosted from 8:30 to 8:45 PM.

• At the conclusion of the fall meeting, we will announce the winners of the silent auction.

• For the remaining hour, the museum will be available for attendees to freely walk and explore the exhibits until 10:00 PM. 

• During our museum times, Lone Star has opened up their DC-3 airliner and Howard 250 executive aircraft with staff members who will give tours and additional details for the planes and allow you to board, explore, and sit in both of these iconic aircraft. 

• The DC-3 is one of the pinnacle airliners from the 1940s and has been faithfully restored and maintained for an authentic look into commercial air travel in the '40s. 

• The Howard 250 is an executive aircraft from the 1950s that was converted from L-18 military cargo planes following WWII. This plane too has been faithfully restored and maintained so we can get a glimpse of what private executive travel was like in the '50s. 

• Almost all planes in Lone Star Flight Museum are airworthy, maintained, and regularly flown, so there are next to no "props," almost everything is authentic. 

Please note that all food and drink must remain in the event center room and will not be allowed on the hanger floors.
