Every year TORA TORA TORA group of the Commemorative Air Force requires their particpating pilots to attend their practice if they want to fly in the upcoming season.
This year's practice was at Conroe, TX (CXO)
Last year Col. Buddy Cooksey came up with the inspired idea of re-integrating the B-17 into the act as needed, which gave the Gulf Coast Wing an excellent excuse to dust off the B-17 and fly with some of the greatest pilot's you would ever want to meet.
I wish I was a better photographer and that these pictures could convey just how impressive it is to see these guys fill the sky with planes at different altitudes, moving different directions in front of an Airshow box.
TEXAS RAIDERS will be making some appearances this year!
Low pass
and break
This year they presented Samurai Swords to some of their long-time members... They do the BEST job of recognizing dedication of any unit I've seen to date.
Missed us by THIS much!
Nose Art on her leg- How cool is that?
PS- MUDGE- they know how you hate seeing gallons of petrol immolated so they spared the pyro at practice and used the BTUs for cooking the steaks and chilling the de-briefing fluids.
