The WHS aircraft and several private warbirds were scheduled for three flyovers.  "Texas Raiders" made the afternoon session, as well.

in Houston, when they say "isolated thunderstorms, may be locally heavy", they mean it!

Vietnam Memorial Fly-over, April 8, 2000
WHS was invited to organize and conduct a flyover and missing-man formation during the commemorative ceremony for the travelling Vietnam Memorial Wall during its display at Bear Creek Park in Houston. Three Squadron aircraft (AT-6, BT-13 & N3N) and seven other private warbirds (five T-34's, one O-2 and one Stearman N2S) participated.  A local search and rescue organization also brought in three UH-1 "Huey" choppers which provided a real 'sound of Vietnam' experience.
