July 16, 2005 Preparation for Hurricane "Emily" RGV-Wing Hangar, Brownsville, TX Saturday, July 16, a few wing members reported to the CAF hangar to prepare for Hurricane Emily. Anything that was portable was moved into the hangar where, despite the notoriously leaking roof, protection from the wind should be provided (to keep flying debris at a minimum in the area). Airshow fencing, trash barrels, vehicles, and even the PBY Catalina were shoved into our hangar. Hopefully the hangar doors will hold in the event of high winds which are expected. We hope for the best and we will keep you posted. May 21 & 22, 2005 San Marcos Air Show CAF CenTex Wing, San Marcos,TX Click here for pictures!

April 16, 2005 South Padre Island "Beach-n-Biker Fest" Fly-Over Port Isabel/South Padre Island Click here for pictures! The RGV-Wing fly-over for the South Padre Island Beach-n-Biker Fest went well. Our formation of two, the Boeing Stearman with David Hughston on the controls and Nina Hughston as an observer and the Ryan PT-22, with Chris Hughston as pilot and Bernhard Klug as ballast (and photographer), left Brownsville at 5:30 pm. Despite a good breeze that kept the two pilots busy on take-off, we reached Port Isabel at 6:00 pm as planned. We followed the proposed parade route along the Queen Isabella Causeway, from Port Isabel across Laguna Madre to South Padre Island, flew North over Padre Island Blvd. and took the opportunity to get some nice air-to-air pictures on this beautiful day. At the Padre Island Convention Center we turned back towards Port Isabel. Half way across the bridge, we got a glimpse and a few shots of the parade as it made its way towards the island. As much as we wanted to turn around and follow the parade, we had to continue back to Brownsville Airport in order to land before sunset. We hope everybody had a great time at the Beach-n-Biker Fest and a safe trip home. If you are interested in having a CAF RGV-Wing fly-over at your event, contact David Hughston for details.
