Country:  | May 5, 2007- Camarillo airport event
The CAF Southern California wing is having a special event on Saturday May 5, 2007, "The Fight for China". This event will feature the CAF's A6M2 Zero and the POF's P-40 Warhawk. The aircraft will be on display and will fly do a flyover. The event is also a time to unveil the latest aviation art painting by Thomas Van Stein. Other artists will also have their work available to view and purchase.
I should add that the Collings Foundation aircraft will also be at Camarillo airport that day, near the Waypoint Cafe. This is a great opportunity to also see a B-17, B-24 and B-25 all in the same place, just a short walk away from the CAF event.

Country: | Since I have become kind of the de facto photographer for the wing, I will get plenty of pics. I believe the P-40 and Zero are going to do the now famous "banana pass". I love it when they do it as it makes pictures like these:

Country: | Here is the first pass edits from the event yesterday. A lot of bonuses. The P-40 and Zero were supposed to fly. Then they sent the Hellcat to got with them. While they were on hold to takeoff, David Price's Mustang "Cottonmouth" comes in to land. It was pretty funny, you could see him watch the others go out, then he taxied right to the warmup area. As soon as one of the passes went by, he took off like a rocket and pulled a cool tight bank to form up with them for a 4 ship pass.  China Doll also flew yesterday. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, sunny, with a light breeze and unlimited visibility. I will post more later.
