If you haven't been by Wings at the
corner of Old Seagoville Rd. and 175 you should give it a try. It's up the
street from the airfield and has some neat airplane nostalgia inside. The
food is delicious, made to order, affordable and has a very friendly
atmosphere. Click here
for the menu. After the July meeting, let's all meet at Wings. They are open
until 11pm.
