...documenting relief efforts of one of the ministries I shoot for. Couldn't get to Galveston itself, but we were pretty close shot a ton of pretty moving images, and later I'll post a shot of the 1975 London cab that was literally torn in half, but that's not the main point of this post.

With apologies, I admit that I don't know what Houston airport we used, but when we were getting ready to leave, our pilot (former F4 Phantom driver) told me I oughtta go 'take a look in that hanger over there...'

Skyraider, A-20, Staggerwing, a Huey, and the huge opuddle of drool that fell outta my mouth.

Anyone know the whos and whiches on these? We were at Million Air.

That would be HOBBY airport. And the A-20 was probably Rick Sharps Douglas A-26. He also has the rest of those aircraft that you saw.

I wonder if your pilot was Harry Daye... he's an F-4 driver for CF.

Nope. Jim something-or-other.

Unusual last name, isn't it?

Just a bit of what I saw...

Just the damage...none of the relief stuff.
