Conroe Courier Article (http://www.hcnonline.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=18093984&BRD=1574&PAG=461&dept_id=532207&rfi=8)
Not really an air show but a B-17, a B-24, and a B-25 will fly into the Lone Star Executive Airport (http://www.co.montgomery.tx.us/air/index.html) located north of Houston in Conore.
The B-25 apparently was part of Doolittle's raid.
Tours of the planes and flights available.

I'll go fur sure :)
hmm, hmm... S2F, SunBat, & LEDPIG?
-
Holy cow.... only $425 to ride in any one. That sounds like a fair enough deal. Will have to check my honey do list for scheduling. One hour drive from my home.
-
Worth it :)
Come on HTC guys come on down to Conroe :D
-
do ya have a link for their tour? wondering if or when they will hit San Antonio or Austin? someplace just a little closer.
On the other hand they should have had their tour at the museum in Houston that I right now cant remember the name of. My dad and I went there last year when we went to Houston for a bowling tournament. I used to have the link but lost it. old Houston airport terminal from the 30's reopened as an aviation museum

No thats not the one, thats Galveston, I have a bowling tournament there this summer in June, already got a trip planned to the Lone Star flight museum.
Here's the link of the one I was thinking about
http://www.1940airterminal.org/
We went to Conroe last year I think, Youth State Bowling tournament was there. After my dad and I finished in Houston we drove up to Conroe to pick up my son who was bowling in that tournament.
wwooohoooo, Austin april 6-9. :aok
-
Did you go to 300 Bowl in Conroe?
-
I think so, funky, dark, crowded bowling alley, low ceilings? Yea 300 Bowl on Wilson street. I bowled a State Mixed tournament there about 4-5 years ago.
-
Yeah that's the one :D Smells bad, dark, crowded, big haired east TX old women, cigar smokin bubba's, rundown pc O' chit... that would be 300 Bowl :) :rofl
I go to this place south of Conroe called 'The Main Event' if I wanna bowl.
Anywayz... Wings of Freedom Tour w00t w00t :aok

My company is only about 8 miles from Hobby. Never knew they had any museum there.

4/9 - 4/11 Abilene, TX (B-17, B-24 & B-25)
Any one want to come in for this one?
-
no the b-25 was not a doolittle raider. Yes the "type" was used, but not that particular one.
Crewed her when she was still called "Hoosier Honey".
-
Sittin here in a Hotel in Bossier, LA. When I get bored I go to Barksdale AFB and park at the end of the airfied and watch B52's and A10's land...
Awesome to look up and see a B52 just a hundred feet overhead, gear out...eardrum shattering.
Bet if I threw a rock I could ping one...but then again it would be hard to adapt in Leavenworth Fed Pen.
Heard they don't have History Channel..... go figure.

Ok... what info. do you have, that proves that this particular B-25 is not?
Not to be received in a negative way, I’m just curious as to why it wasn’t & what fact you have to prove that it isn’t.

just butting in,...

So Drill might know the history of the plane
also I think someone got sidetracked, article doesnt say "this B-25" was a Dolittle Raider, it think the intention was just to say the B-25 was the bomber used...
-
hey, just bringing this to the top so everybody in and near Austin remembers they'll be here this afternoon.
even though the weather is supposed to be crappy I'm still planning on it..
