Yesterdy me and my dad went to Wings Over Houston, and I took lots of pics (have total of about 660, including last year).  Of course not all are good, and because for a lot of the day the weather sucked most are pretty bad.  But ehre are about 30 of the best ones, in no particular order

While hiding under planes we got to see the Coandra Effect in action, the stream of water is moving sideways along the surface (if you can name whose surface it is, 1 million dollars!  Ill tell you later...)


The Tuskegee Airmen Beechjet, and this shows how bad the weather was int he morning...


More Coandra Effect, name the plane again...


One of the best pics Ive ever taken, Tarheel Hal a little bit before his show (I might try to get this one on Anet)


Take a step back in time to last year, and you see the Snowbirds!


Again from last year, this King Cobra taxiing to takeoff and go home (I THINK I posted this last year, but who cares, its a good pic )


One of the best flying pics, a Harvard Zero during the Tora Tora Tora flight, most of the pics I took of Tora Tora Tora were blurred by all the smoke..


The rarest bird Ive ever seen and the rarest at the show, the worlds only flying SB2C Helldiver...check out the prop vortices!


More coming soon...

Oops, I know of the effect, just not how to spell :p

And EH not C-17...first one is the KC-135, second is the C-130.  The C-17 wasnt open for public access yet, had to get ready for its (short) demo.

It was a good display by the C-17, but it only got to do a quick pass and a STOL landing because of the clouds, but the landing was amazing!  Gotta see it to believe it

Very lucky to get a strong enough reflection on the P47

Oh Canada!!!

I know!  Me and my dad walked over there to see some warbirds start up because they had just closed the warbird area to get ready for Tora Tora Tora, and then I saw Tarheel Hal sitting there with a great reflection and immediately said GIVE ME THE CAMERA (primarily because my dad wasnt taking any pics ), and took that picture.  I also took one of the Corsair sitting in front of it, but the puddles by the Corsair were really small so I only got like the wheels in the reflection

Lovely work Jake and I could imagine the jug on anet, go for it.....
