Fantasy of Flight Display



Warbird photographer Bill Scheuerman caught Kermit Weeks flying some rare birds in his collection recently. The rare Grumman Duck was even flown off the water.

Hurricane Flies in New Colors


The Lone Star Flight Museum unveiled their freshly painted Hurricane at their most recent open house - fly day.

The rare fighter was transfered to the paint shop near Houston and recently rolled out in this historic desert scheme. Thanks to Ryan Harris for the above photo.
