Greetings
If this has been covered please forgive me ( Pre Old Age setting in)
I am planning on taking my Son to the W.O.H this year and I am excited to the fact that Texas Raiders Might be their ! I know that allot has to happen between now and then. I was wondering is Tora Slated to be their ? If not maybe some body might know when the Next Texas Air Show they might be at .
I know that they are always at Airsho in Midland in the Fall.
Thanks in advance for all that respond

Well, the WOH website is saying TORA will be there. They are also scheduled to appear at Randolph AFB Nov. 7-8, which in the last few years has been a nice show weather and temperature wise.

Anyone know if the Waco-TSTC airshow (Texas Air Fiesta) is going to be held this November once again?

Rest assured that TORA will be at 2009 Wings Over Houston!

In fact I am trying to get them to do a record breaking FOUR MILE explosion.

We are going to call it the WALL of (s)MUDGE!

:rofl:

But seriously, yes Wings Over Houston is going to have the TORA show.

As this is show that is put on by the Gulf Coast squardon which is essently the Tora Tora Squadron and the Texas Raiders squadron, (and in conjunctin with the West Houston Squadron and to a smaller degree LSFM) it is a safe bet that they will be there in some form or another.

Not sure how active Charles Hutchins is with the show these days but in the past he was one of the key players and as Tora Lead it was usually a given that they would participate heavily.

Hey Gary... Now that you mention it 4 miles of (s)MUDGE would be an improvement in MY South West Choloville neighborhood. Have to get a call in to TORA for a local show.

Nathan...I can't remember ALL the names of the TORA pyro folks.
Only that they have creative ways of slicing watermelon at their Crawfish boils! 8)
