West Houston Squadron Open House

Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:24 pm

Found out, just by following the airplane noise, that the WHS had an open house today, and tomorrow.

Since I was not prepared (Bad Boy Scout, bad!!) I did not have my camera with me today, but . . . wait until tomorrow!! : )

In any case, this is what I saw today:
