Each year, weather permitting a group of Flyboys makes the Cypress River Airport, just outside of Jefferson, TX their landing runway for an afternoon. They have a great BBQ lunch with all the trimmings; complimentary to pilots and crew who fly in and for the hungry spectators the BBQ lunch is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 10. They call this The Aviator’s Airport Diner (Open this one day of the year)

For a fun afternoon drive just a little bit out of Jefferson toward Caddo and watch planes of all shapes and sizes fly in and out of the airport. Then chat with the plane owners, they have quite a few tales to tell.
Last year David and I went out for the afternoon. We really enjoyed seeing the planes take off and fly about for a while and then land again. It was also interesting to talk to the owners of a few of the planes. Some of them were homemade planes that were clearly loved.
The Cypress River Airport is located at 24F Hiway 134 East, Jefferson Texas.
