North Houston, Texas Air Show

[Yknurd]

Conroe Courier Article

Not really an air show but a B-17, a B-24, and a B-25 will fly into the Lone Star Executive Airport 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?

[Shuffler]

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.

[RATTFINK]

Worth it

Come on HTC guys come on down to Conroe

[Airscrew]

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.

[RATTFINK]

Did you go to 300 Bowl in Conroe?

[Airscrew]

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.

[RATTFINK]

Yeah that's the one  Smells bad, dark, crowded, big haired east TX old women, cigar smokin bubba's, rundown pc O' chit... that would be 300 Bowl

I go to this place south of Conroe called 'The Main Event' if I wanna bowl.


Anywayz... Wings of Freedom Tour w00t w00t
