Wing over Houston - October 2021

My 4th trip to Houston for the Wings over Houston Air Show was once again a great success of great photo opportunities. The headline act was our U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. However, as always there were many great acts I was able to capture. For the first time I had my new mighty Nikon D850 camera. Enjoy this 200 plus photo plus photo collage and montage!

  • The vapor trails you see on the wings are like mini tornados. You don't want to be behind that in another plane as you'll get blown off course and can crash.
  • Wow! You can just about see the R.I.O. (Radar Intercept Officer) holding onto to something. Their job is to find targets. That's the person who sits in the back.
  • In this series of photos you'll get to see the British Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire fighter planes that were legendary during the World War II.

  • "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.<br /> <br /> "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender". <br /> <br /> Winston Churchill<br /> <br /> A heavy metal band I really like a lot called Iron Maiden has a song I like a lot called "Aces High". In their live album called "Live After Death". They open with that song feature the speech from Winston Churchill and the sound of aircraft engines revving up and taking off to go defend England against the German Luftwaffe. <br /> <br /> Aces High!
