Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Shades of the fires from 2 years ago come to mind.

Scary, if you ask me.

Hey pacerron; Rocognize anyone in these pics? :laughing: If so, no names please mentioned in the thread, please. I have an internet stalker, that shows up on my real name. And for the rest of you, yes, that's me as PIC, so no wisecracks from y'all either! LOL

I thought you were a Samoan dude.

Too bad old color photo prints/memories fade. If you have the negatives and a scanner that will do transparencies, you could get
original detail in your scans plus make them better than the original digitally.
I added a little color correction back in these 2.
Hope you don't mind.

No wisecracks from me, FG. I'd just say that you were mighty easy on the eyes in those days.

That pasture was brown not a hint of green before that storm.

Holy sheep dip batman! I was cringing the whole time.

Remember Bob Hoover? I missed seeing him in person, but was introduced to him by home video back in the '70's.

I saw Bob do his Strike Commander routine at the CAF airshow back in '78 in Harlingen. My coworkers and I pooled our money to rent a Cherokee Six and flew down. The weather was bad enough that Bob did not do any routine in his P-51.

Then you should LOVE this! I posted on another thread over July 4. It is one of my favorite videos! And yes, many of these pilots are based locally, in McKinney.

Now I wanna go to a night time airshow. Watching that video is mesmerizing and the music great.

This is my current aviation hero.

Brave guy. That would be a fun ride. As was watching the video, he popped up on the evening news, flying besides a B-17 over Wisconsin. The news said he is currently training another "Jetman" to fly with him.

Don't tell the guys. I am enjoying watching their craziness! Would take a lot of hair dye, and makeup to become something resembling the "Samoan dude".

Thank you very kindly, jinman!

I don't mind. All I have is the prints on the wall. Negatives are with the ones that took the pics. Not sure if they are still north of Dallas, or not.
