Wings Over Houston



This weekend the Wings Over Houston Airshow took place at Ellington Airport. There were a wide range of vintage and current aircraft performing demonstrations.   A few of those that I captured photos of included the privately owned Heavy Metal Jet Team, featuring four L-39’s and one MiG-17 all in a striking Arctic camouflage paint scheme.  Vintage aircraft performed a World War II air power demo complete with fire and sounds of exploding bombs.  The show was wrapped up both days by the Canadian Military's Snowbirds performing in their nine CT-114 Tutor jets.  The weather was great and offered fantastic, but challenging, photo ops.   Those planes move really fast when you are trying to point a camera at them!
