Some good and some bad news.

The good, wait no GREAT news is that Texas Raiders was moved today by crane along with the one wing by it to a new location at Houstons Hobby Airport to FINALLY be rebuilt. I am going to take pictures with my digital camera and send them to Tim so he can possibly use them in Warbird Digest. I am going to keep going over there like twice a week to see Raiders finally get back in the air. Now the bad news ANOTHER Texas Air Aces T-34 crashed today killing both pilot and passenger on board. They are speculating that it was a Wing Spar problem that the T-34 had a NOTAM to fix. So who knows but thats the second Texas Air Aces loss.

I read that the passenger -as of yet unidentified, was from Venezuela.

Crash area was also near Lake Conroe, similar to the accident they had last year.

Condolences to those who knew the pilot and passenger.

I talked to a guy from the CAF yesterday when I drove over there that it will take atleast 8-9 months. So late next year.

Hey Nathan how soon is that area of the airport supposed to be taken over by the city? I know they moved her yesterday because the city is taking over that entire end except for MillionAir. I work at Houston Aircraft Instruments and we are planning on being out sometime next summer to a new location.

Also, I think they ended up getting the other wing moved. I drove by twice during the day and both time a wing was hanging from the crane so hopefully she is all over there now. I would've liked to have seen the fuselage being moved. That definately would've been interesting. Did they say if they have definately gotten the spar finished?
