Get back to me if you are interested.  It is an awsome sight if you have not seen or heard it fly.

Watch for the flight path and time to see if it will be flying over your house or business.

That sounds GREAT! Do you know if we need to park at regular airport parking to reach y`all?

I looked at the flight log. Are you at hooks now? I live right down the street and would love to come out and watch the take off.

Not sure about parking... maybe watch some signs????  This is not an "air show".  It is a reunion 381st bomber group.  They are also going to interview a vet thet flew in a B-17.  SHOULD make the evening news on one of the stations??

We are at Hooks... you are welcome to watch it take off.  Either at the main runway or off Boudroux entrance.  But you cannot see the takeoff since we are accross from the main runways.   We arer at the jet center.  Watching the engines is awsome.  If you are fast, you caN WATCH US START UP, THEN RUSH AROUND TO THE RUNWAYS WHILE WE WARM UP AND TAXI.

( sorry about the caps... I look at the keys when I type and hit the caplock when I hit the "A"
