dude the planes are fucking badass i'm hella jealous you got to go!!! what did you see???

oh dude lemme tell ya,,, we were hyping ourselves up for wings over houston for a whole month. but now you've activated my tism so let's see...

we walked to our seats in the middle of an astounding father-son duo doing aerobatics in 2 extra 330s;

another aerobatics performance in a plane i did not hear/didn't recognize, but it looked similar to the others;

static c-17 globemaster & kc-135;

a static navy p-8 poseidon (the military boeing 737-800);

static mq-1 predator aerial drone;

we caught glimpses of the mig-17 and mig-21 before they were sent home, so we didn't actually get to see them see them (we were distraught over this);

the eurocopter mh-65 dolphin (coast guard);

both a static f-35a & a demo by another f-35a (the a being the air force version) which was awesome! that girl thunders something fierce. we got lucky enough to hear it howl;

several t-6 texans, a boeing super stearman, the t-34 "mentor," the t-28 trojan, the bt-13 valiant (aka the "vibrator"), and several other smaller trainers;

the tora! tora! tora! demo group (t-6s dressed as the famed japanese a6m zero, a p-39 aircobra, a p-40 warhawk with flying tigers livery, and a b-25 in the place of a b-17);

the b-17g "yankee lady," which was a HUGE hit with me. they didn't even need to announce her. the fucking moment i saw her vertical stabilizer taxiing down the runway i whipped around to fucking pog at my friends;

two different b-25 mitchells (the j variant) & the pbj-1j "devil dog" (the marines version of the b-25);

the c-47 skytrain "that's all brother" (who i've seen twice before); this warbird has a fascinating story;

a p-51d mustang (who then did a heritage flight with the f-35a);

the me-262 schwalbe, aka, the first jet fighter ever put into service (germany);

an a-1h (ad-6) skyraider, which was basically one of the last propellor-based aircraft in the navy before the jet age;

the usaf thunderbirds in their f-16 fighting falcons, which were loud, screaming, gleaming, and amazing. i could never do those fucking close formations and passes they do! jesus...;

a static f-100 super sabre, which looks lovingly like a catfish and i love them a lot, the f-4 phantom ii, and an a-4 skyhawk;

some static displays from nasa: the b-57 canberra and t-38 talon
