Default 4 weeks until Wings Over Houston!

In 4 weeks I will attend an airshow I've never been to; "Wings Over
Houston." Show is going on in spite of Ike, which was a concern.

The main reason is to experience the most hardcore, insane aerobatics
I've ever seen, Sean D. Tucker. Follow links to a 13 minute, full
performance video here if you'd like; http://www.oracle.com/cluboracle/teamoracle/index.html
If you've never seen Tucker perform I highly recommend this if you
enjoy aerobatics.

The Late Jimmy Franklin came pretty dang close to Sean Tucker's
spectacular flying, especially with the jet-powered Waco biplane,
simply unbelievable! In fact, it was during the intensity of that
performance that Franklin lost his life. Here's a video of his jet-
powered Waco; http://www.youtube.com/watchv=BqVkbq...eature=related

Thunderbirds are also featured this year.
Has anyone been to Wings Over Houston? Dumb question but should I
expect a big crowd? Which is the less-crowded day, saturday or sunday?

Thanks for any help.

Ricky
