Tue Oct 21, 2008 5:59 am

Don't forget that this weekend, Oct 25-26, is Wings Over Houston. Who's planning on attending?

Good chance that I will be there...look for me around Thunderbird.

We're planning on being there on Saturday. Hope to be in the autograph tent.

In light of the awful aftermath of the hurricane, is LSFM going to be sending any of the flyable survivors to Ellington for the show?

Looks like we will have some aircraft there for the show. B-17, B-25, P-47, F6F, Stearman, Corsair & SBD. Should be conducting rides in the 17 & Stearman. :f4u:

I will be there Sat & Sun.

I'll be bringing the P-39 support team over in the U-11A. Also coming from the CenTex Wing, as far as I know, will be Ron Iberg in the P-39, Calvin Allen in the Red Tail T-6, Pat McClure in Kate 310, and Billy Parker in his Zero. That's all I know of, so far. See everyone Friday!

SBD & Corsair look to be static.

Well, the B-17 was just serviced and run up. All looks well for their departure from Midland to Ellington in a couple of hours or so.

Collings Foundation will have their normal contingent on the south end of the static area. They'll probably park the C-5 next to us. The Huey will be on the hot ramp

Fly Safe, guys, and hope for good weather. We just got a trace of snow this am. here.

Ill be on the Lone Star flightline, probably around Elroy 13. At 1:15 this afternoon, the word was that Thunderbird was at Ellington.
As for Lone Star and Ike's aftermath-- The Show Must Go On! Thanks for all the support. Hope to see y'all there.
