Photos from around the area this week

Sometimes the best stories are ones told with pictures. Here are a few of the interesting photos the Uvalde Hesperian have taken in Uvalde, Uvalde County and the surrounding area.

Over in nearby Hondo, there is a company called Hondo Aerospace located near the Hondo Regional Airport that is in the business of buying old commercial jet aircraft and salvaging them for parts. The airframes can be seen from Spatz Road near the airport,

According to the Hondo Aerospace website under About Us, it reads:

“Store Your Planes In A City Dedicated Entirely To Them

After piercing through the mighty sky and crossing over continents, your aircraft needs a vacation at a place where it will be really looked after. How about the City of Planes?

Almost as vast as the sky itself, Hondo Aerospace takes pride in being the City of Planes. We specialize in aircraft storage and green harvesting”
