Traces of Texas reader Charles Frederick sent in this wonderful photo of his grandfather with his biplane at Ellington Air Field south of Houston, essentially where Clear Lake is today. His name was Clifford A. Wright and he is the man in the middle. The plane is a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny." After WWI, many were sold to individuals an former military pilots who became barnstormers.

Amazing photo, Charles! I want to step right into it! Thanks for sharing!

So, we had the first flight of the X-59 SST prototype yesterday. This was a fun little program to work.

This is NASA's low sonic boom aircraft. What they learn on this prototype should help design SSTs that can fly at M>1.0 over land since they'll have a muffled sonic boom.

I saw a pair of Bombardier 415's taking off from Easterwood one day last week. Couldn't snap a pic in time - those things shoot straight up when not loaded!

This is the first airplane to ever land in Beeville or in Bee county, for that matter. It was 1911 and Mr. Charley A. Pressey arrived after flying all the way from Georgia in this Curtiss flying machine. Can you imagine flying from Georgia in this contraption, at a time when you had no idea what the weather would be like ahead? Mr. Pressey was also known for establishing the first moving picture theater in Beeville in 1906. The name of the business was Superba Family Theatre and the admission price was five cents.

1st Lieutenant William T. Campbell, Major Albert L. Sneed, and Captain Showalter stand by the tail of a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" at Love Field in Dallas on Nov. 12 or 13, 1918. Note those dates? WW I had ended the previous day, on Nov. 11. The men were there as part of something called the "Flying Frolic," which invited the public out to the field to watch the planes fly, perform aerial maneuvers in formation, watch a parachuting demonstration etc ... They are the "magnificen young men in their flying machines." In their pilot attire, aren't they the dictionary definition of swashbuckling?
