More aircraft from the Royal Air Force in Texas Fly-In

I believe the British pilots trained in planes similar to this one.

The plane below is a PT-19

Below is R4D, the Navy version of the DC-3.

Aircraft on display

One of the neat things to see at the Fly-In was the different types of aircraft. I should have took a notepad and a pen. I didn't get many of the types of planes.

I hate flying in the big commercial jets, but I could see myself being a pilot in one of these planes during the war.



More tomorrow.

Royal Air Force in Texas Fly-In


Where to start, we made it back from the trip and the weather in Terrell today has been absolutely wonderful for the Royal Air Force in Texas Fly-In. I made it out to the airport just before noon so I missed some of the earlier activities. Last night they had a USO type dinner and show. They said they had over 200 in attendance. Today's turnout was great. Below you can see people gathering for the posting of the colors and the welcoming address from Henry Madgwick and Terrell Mayor Hal Richards. Over the next several days I will post pictures from today's event.
