Country: | Here is the website for more info. http://www.planesoffame.org/airshows.php
Admission is $18 this year. Kinda steep, but where else are you going to see a lineup like that?! If you pre-order them online, you can get them for $15. I will be ordering mine tomorrow morning for Saturday.
This is one show you won't want to miss!

Country:  | Are you kidding? I'd happily pay $15-$18 US to go to that! 
Of course, there's the airfare to get there, accommodation, the body cavity search at the border, etc. 
Maybe if they let me fly down strapped to the wing of the Sabre or something...I'd be awfully tempted to drop everything and go. 
Seriously, it looks like it'll be great. |

| There's also the March AFB museum a short drive down the freeway from Chino. An aviation enthusist would have a full weekend between the two.

Howdy, folks. Am new guy, Mtr. Bao (pronounced bow, as in bow-wow).
One of main WW2 aircraft interests is fantasizing about hypothetical dog fight between P-61C Black Widow and Heinkel He-219 Uhu. Any opinions as to outcome? Same kind of set up as between P-38 and Zero pilot in Martin Caidin novel, think it was called The Last Dogfight or something like that. Would be heck of a spectacle, what you could see of it in the dark that is. | |

Unfortunately "Piccadilly Lilly" is not up to speed yet, but check out web site and contribute to reconstruction now! | |
