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.

Hi ya!

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

Saludos,


Tulio

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.


Saludos,


Tulio
