It's early morning as I liftoff for day 12 of the National Air Tour. I shake my wings quickly up and down as a farewell to all my new found friends in Shreveport. With such a full stomach from all the overeating I did last night I'm surprised that the plane took off as well as it did.
Today's schedule has us arriving at Houston Municipal to record our race time. Looks like our air field up ahead.
A nice lazy circle around the hanger verifies that once again my navigational skills have not let me down.
The terminal building at Houston wasn't purposely built for it's role as administration headquarters but was later adapted to fill that job. Still looks nice a cozy, though.
My poor little plane needs some TLC so I'll just taxi into the hanger to let the guys take care of her.
The old terminal building burned down in 1940 but luckily a newer, more modern terminal had already been built. Through the magic of Flight Simulator, if you change your date to 1940 or later you will see the new terminal standing proud. Looks like my plane has been updated too!
A view of the new terminal from the business side of the aircraft.
Can't resist buzzing the building with this speedy little plane.
