To have the privilege of their support as a pilot operations, dispatch, weather, owner services, and a safety culture second to none, makes flying into all of the airports, big and small, a real joy. “I’ve been flying for NetJets for 15 years and it's been an amazing opportunity. All of our flying was for business and pleasure until I started with NetJets in 2001,” said Lucy. After college, we had the privilege to start flying lessons together and Cheron and I both received our private licenses in 1971. Many of my dates with soon-to-be wife, Cheron, included watching planes land at HOU. The airline trips to and from school gave me the opportunity to fly and it grew into a passion for someday wanting to be a pilot. “A college friend gave me his collection of past flying magazines and I read every one, cover to cover. His love of flying which began 43 years ago at Horseshoe Bay has led him to a career flying a mid-size cabin eight-passenger Citation Sovereign for NetJets. Time has been a big factor in Lucy getting his boots on the ground in Fredericksburg. The bifold door on it opens and closes quick and quietly with the four strong liftstraps and locks weather tight with the patented auto latch strap system that Schweiss bifold doors are known for. clear, more than adequate to hangar his plane.

The experience has been great since day one. That led to noticing doors in other hangars, along with the testimonies of others on your website. I did research metal buildings and in the process saw the Schweiss Doors advertisement. Fuchs sold me I printed the article, put it in my hangar file, and called Schweiss. “When I started looking at doors, your ‘Must See Photo’ Schweiss website profile on Mr. Lucy said he made his decision to purchase a Schweiss Bifold liftstrap door after reading a “Must See Photo” story on the Schweiss Doors website about old-timer pilot, Gene Fuchs of Morgan, Minnesota who owns three Schweiss doors.
That may have been the exact thoughts of Bill Lucy, who recently chose to move to Fredericksburg from Horseshoe Bay, Texas where he built his new home after he built a hangar and adjacent 1,600 ft. Towns like Fredericksburg offer a taste of the Old World, with German-style biergartens, schnitzelhauser and a lot of wineries. The region is lush, colorful and, unlike much of the pancake-flat state, dotted with beautiful green hills that are evocative of Tuscany or the south of France. Who needs Europe? Fredericksburg, Texas in the Texas Hill Country, west of Austin and north of San Antonio, might be the next best thing to crossing the Atlantic.
