Rex is ready to ride!
The gang is getting ready for departure.
It stayed between 70 and 73 degrees all the way to Tyler and just a few sprinkles with dry roads. Cannot argue with that at all!
Howard is leading the way in group 1.
Tyler Pounds Airport with the Skyline Cafe and HAMM Museum.
Clockwise from me on far left: Tom, Bob, Rick, Joe, Rex, Craig, Larry, Howard, and Jeff.
Inside the museum. Some nice wooden props.
F-104 Starfighter
F-105 Thunderchief, F-4 Phantom, and I am not sure of the other.
2 aerodynamic legends (Rex and F-104 Starfighter)!
See previous caption and change to me!
AD5 Skyraider. See the fake owl on the prop to keep birds away!
Jeff next to some serious exhaust on this baby!
Yours truly!
F-111 Aardvark
Some good airflow here!
Larry and Rex getting some WWII first hand stories from museum tour guide Don. He was on a B-29 during the Japan bombings. There were 6 B-29s and he was on one of the 4 that did not drop bombs. He did fly over Hiroshima at 7,000 ft and saw the aftermath. Fascinating man to chat with and i recommend visiting him when you visit the HAMM Museum.
T-33 Shooting Star
Jeff, Larry, Don, and Rex.
Adding me to the photo!
Don giving us some first hand information about the B-29 and Enola Gay in particular.
Heading home from Tyler. I am following Howard and Jeff.
Heading out of Edom. Rick is leading the 2nd group (right on our heels!)
We saw some tornado damage around Ben Wheeler. You can see a damaged tree just ahead of Jeff.
86 degrees, yuck...the 72 degrees on the ride down was much nicer!
Crossing Tawakoni it was starting to clear up and getting too warm.
I am eating healthy!!! (Pizza tonight, though!)
