Having some time to kill over my holiday trip to west Texas, I found myself in Lubbock. I drove to the airport and took these photos of the C-47 at the Silent Wings Museum. Looks like the Lubbock wind had done a job on her tail feathers.

And being a big fan of the T-33, I couldn't pass up a trip to the airport in Plainview to take some shots of the T-33 there.

It was a cold, overcast and very windy day but it was well worth the trip!

I understood they were doing some repair work on the tail, but apparently it is taking some time; it's been off since at least early June when we flew our C-47 in for their D-Day event. Hope they get it back on soon, looks kind of strange without it!

Regards,

Andy
