Cruse Aviation Photo Collection

Steve Cruse of The Woodlands shares his extensive photo and postcard collection. Raised in tiny but extremely charming San Benito, where his father and uncle ran a flying service from the mid 40s through the mid 80s Steve says that he was ten years old before he realized that not everyone's father was a pilot. The Cruse Collection spans the entire Gulf Coast from Florida to Mexico and the Rio Grande River from Colorado to Boca Chica. Special emphasis is on Corpus Christi, Galveston and (of course) San Benito.
