I didn't see it fly, but I did watch the CAF OV-1D(not the Cavanaugh one) taxi away.

Rick Garvis (?) was working on the B-24. And the H-34 was stripped down and being power washed.

Can you clue in those of us who are clueless here? When did the CAF acquire an OV-1?:?:

Thanks for the info.:?:

My bad, I was thinking of the corsair inside the hanger when I was typing.

Rick, he buzzed old downtown League City.

So is that CFMs' OV1 or not. I thought it was green. That one looks grey or is it the light?

Nope, not CFM's. Theirs was in a hanger too.

This one's registration number was easy to remember; N10VD

Well that OV1 not from around here. Anybody in that part of the world have any ideas (who, where, when) what its doing here. (Lynn ?)

The photo doesn't do justice to the contrail :(

Arrgh, dunno why I can't make it work as an imbedded image, I give up for now so I'll leave it as a link....its an AA 757 with winglets pulling a pretty contrail at FL380. Not warbird, or even very old, I realize.

Cessna 195. I heard the round engine first and took a bit to spot him through the bare trees but I did get enough of a look to i.d. the type. I didn't get a good enough look to read markings but he was heading west from Brenham, Tx. airport at a low alt. I live under the approach so I see and hear a lot of GA traffic. Before I was involved with Wings Over Houston, I'd see an occiasional warbird heading home.

An AT-6G at San Carlos Airport.

Friday I crossed taxiways in the Citabria with my friend Vic and his wife Cathy in their Harvard.

Always cool! 8)
