Wings Over Houston 2008

Glacier Girl :) She was part of a P-38 Squadron that left from a very small airport. The Presqu'Isle, Maine airport to be exact. I've flown from and to that airport many times. Being from Edmundston, NB, that was the closest airport for us. It was about 1 hr away, once your crossed the international bridge :)
There are pictures of Glacier Girl in the airport itself.
 
This will be the first time in 15 years that I have not been at the Wings over Houston Airshow. I am going to miss it.:banghead:
 
This will be the 24th year that I have not been to the Wings Over Houston Airshow. I always miss it.

Thanks for sharing.
We lived in Clear Lake City for several years and this was always a good airshow!
