Post by: DiabloTX on October 21, 2008, 08:18:58 AM: When my brothers were with the Golden Knights back in the day, it was always sweet to have hookups at the airshow. Now I have to mingle with the little people.

It's also nice to know I can officially claim my POS Camaro is faster then your POS Camaro.

Pinks?

Title: Re: Wings Over Houston
Post by: DiabloTX on October 22, 2008, 12:51:38 AM: Well I live only a couple miles from Ellington. I plan on driving C-HOG to the airshow and then directly to Kemah so I'll probably leave the show a little early. If it were the Blue Angels I'd stay later.

Title: Re: Wings Over Houston

Post by: RATTFINK on October 26, 2008, 03:58:11 PM: Ahh we must have missed each other. I was standing at the B-17 from 8:30 to 9:15 with a Aces High II logo on a 8 1/2" x 11".

We couldn't have asked for a better day. The past two WOH's were rainy.

Did you guys stick around to see the C47 & C17 heritage flight?

I'll post pix sometime this week.
