Oh my, :clap:

Awesome set, one of my favourite warbird airshows! Knocks the spots off Legends, can't wait to go back.

Particularly love the Me-262 + V-22 shot... two trailblazers 60 years apart!

I was there for the Saturday only which unfortunately turned out to be the "bad luck" day. The MiG-21 and red MiG-17 didn't fly and the F-100 did much better passes on Sunday it seems. Glad to see the photos from Sunday. I honestly have not even edited most of my images yet and it was two months ago :facepalm:

Fantastic, think I would prefer the Me-262 nightshot level though ;)

Nice to see so many Russian types flying over there too... :clap:

Thanks for your comments :smile:

That was indeed a superb show, just the Collins Foundation F-4 was missing and as sovietjet said, the show was better sunday but some aircraft flew saturday only :whistle:

Just a small bonus, because this is Houston !!!
