Houston Executive - Fly-in June 07, 2008: 20 images

Sun Jun 08, 2008 2:18 am

The Houston Executive Airport, is holding its second annual fly-in, this weekend.

Located in the far West Houston area, it opened for business a couple of years ago.

I had the pleasure of meeting WIXers Doug Ratchford and Elroy, who were volunteering with the LSFM's B-17 Thunderbird.

Here are some images from some of the airplanes present Saturday morning.

May I ask what kind of equip. you shoot with?

*p.s.* I must say it is truly a pleasure to see everyones photos up. This way we all can attend every little fly-in in some manner. Thanks! :lol:

Hi ya!

Canon 30D, and for most shots I use a 17-85mm; some of the shots were made with a 70-200.

Great pic's,
I got a kick out of the 8 foot gate with barbed wire tapering to a 4 foot fence. :?:

Thank you, guys, I'm glad you liked the shots I posted.

I believe that the angle is deceiving re: the gate and the fence.
