    Wings Over Houston 2014 (Image Heavy)

    Howdy Folks,

    Another year, Another Wings Over Houston. A lot has been said about the good, bad, and ugly about this year's show elsewhere on the web... and it's all true to some extent. The fact that the aircraft that flew, and what they did while flying, varied so much from day to day is a shame, but what can you do? Lots of firsts for me in terms of good photos, so lets dive in.

    First up, this glorious beast on static display courtesy of NASA

    And another NASA oddity, the WB-57F

    Nice AM light on the warbird ramp

    The big draw for me, an airworthy F-100F Super Saber

    The Spad put in quite the show

    Having seen the Thunderbirds the previous weekend, seeing the Blues was interesting

    That a really amazing variety of planes you captured and the shots look amazing.
    How does the Blue Angles show compare the Thunderbirds?

    Nice shots Nick, thanks for sharing! That looks like a heck of a show with quite a variety of aircraft on display.

    Thank you both!

    Max, I preferred the Blues show as a spectator, but the Tbirds show gave me more chances at formation passes from off-airport at Alliance, so I may have preferred it from a photo standpoint.
