| Redding Airshow 2009 Well, the long awaited airshow finally happened today. And what a mess. The weather has been great for the past week and a half, but last Thursday, the winds came out of the north, bringing smoke from fires burning in southern Oregon along with a high-pressure ridge...which translates into high temps. Today, we set a high temp record for this time of year: 111° f... I got there early, but the angle of the sun and the way Redding Airport is situated made for some poor photos. I also had to cut it short because at some point today I turned my neck wrong, and ended up with a headache that was so bad, it was messing with my vision. I'll start posting them, and I'm sure RedBeard has some to share, too. IMG 1: Flight of Geese over the ramp IMG 2: C-17 looms over the show IMG 3: T-6 IMG 4: Wright Flyer replica IMG 5: AT-6 IMG 6: Neuport replica IMG 7: EAA "experimental" (looks like a P-51D or a YaK-9, doesn't it?) IMG 8: EAA "experimental" half-scale replica IMG 9: PT-17 IMG 10: L-29

| Brilliant photos, thanks for sharing.   That C-17 is rather big. And the photo of the geese heading off reminds me that it's autumn; the game season has begun, it's time for roasted chestnuts, a good book in the evening and colder weather. Mmm, I like autumn.

 | Good stuff, Dave. I have a very similar C-17 shot from Riverside. Great minds think alike.

| Thanks guys, sorry I cut it short last night, but I was really out of it. Glad everyone has enjoyed the photos so far, and I'll be posting more and just *maybe*, I'll go back out this afternoon and try and pick up where I left off with the flight demonstration photos... I'm uploading the images in series of 10, this is the second installment, more to follow... And here's a little challenge. In the 9th photo (with the P-51H)...can you spot the ramp violation?  IMG 1: L-29 IMG 2: T-33 IMG 3: A75 IMG 4: T-34 IMG 5: T-28 IMG 6: F-18 IMG 7: A-10 IMG 8: DCO-65 IMG 9: P-51H IMG 10: L-2M, Jeep and P-51H
