The Concours d’Elegance of Texas and the Houston Classic Motorcar Weekend began today with the annual Tour d’Elegance; a scenic guided tour of the Montgomery County.
Around 40 vintage and exotic cars started the tour at the La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa Conference Center and drove to Black Walnut Café Conroe for lunch.
The two and a half hour flight on 9 April 1967 from Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle to Paine Field (KPAE) in Everett, Washington marks the maiden flight of the first ever Boeing 737.
After more than 1,300 hours of flight-testing by a six-airplane fleet, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certified the Boeing 737 as logical short- range jetliner airplane. The first 737-100 was delivered to Lufthansa (Deutsche Lufthansa AG), which began commercial service on February 10, 1968. The Boeing 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation, continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967 with 7,865 aircraft delivered and 3,680 orders yet to be fulfilled as of December 2013.
Black Walnut Café Conroe is now featuring local artist Liz Hill’s unique artwork titled “Aeronautical Rodeo”.
The mixed media artwork features an original blue print of a F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. The Black Walnut Café Conroe is located on the third floor of the Galaxy FBO, hence the “Aeronautical Rodeo” theme is quite a good match for its dining room! The Black Walnut Café Conroe is open to the public for breakfast and lunch everyday from 7am to 3pm.
