Wings Over Houston - 2022

November 5, 2022 · in Photo Collections · 17 · 0.9K


A few images from last weekend. A tough two years after rebuilding the SB2C-5 Engine and numerous problems with Carbs and a pesky Generator seal, the Beast is flying again and the engine is tight and purring.

Weather at this year's show was terrible on Saturday, but Sunday brought bright skies and a great performance by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Since I was working both days at the Plane during the mornings, didn't get as many shots as usual, but I got a few good ones. Hope you enjoy.

  6. Thanks for sharing all these, James!
    What a wonderful show!

  7. Some really amazing pictures James, I'd love to see a B29 in the flesh.

  8. Stunning airshow, James @jamesb
    Even an airworthy 262, and a lot more of interesting aircraft.

  9. Awesome photos, video, and that B-29 is a beauty!

  10. Great photos and video, James (@jamesb). It looks like it was a great show. I didn't know there were any airworthy Me-262s around. It is really cool to see a Helldiver flying, too. When I was stationed at Randolph flying T-37s, I used to use Ellington as the first leg for the cross countries for my students. We would fly the leg low level using visual flight rules.

  11. Nice photos and video. The crew chief at the end looked like he wanted to get burned by the pitot tube.

    I have not been too active on Imodeler lately and I'm sorry I missed these pictures you took. You have some incredible skills, and please accept our condolences for the loss.

    Thanks for sharing these with us. Take care brother.
