Country: | It would be really cool to have a WWII aircraft meet at Duxford, or Chino or Thunder over Michigan, OshKosh... I have met up with some of you guys at shows (syscom at Chino, flyboyj at Point Mugu).
If any of you guys make it out to Riverside this Saturday for the show there, I'll be on the hill near the ATC tower.
Back on topic... The CF birds will be in Camarillo in May. I can hardly wait.

Country: | We are hoping the Collings Foundation will bring the B-17 and B-25 back to our Airport this year like they did last year. This time though our Squadron is having a World War II Hangar Dance. Should be a good thing. | |

Country: | I drove over to see CF's birds Sunday with my father. We had the normal weather, overcast and rain. So I do not have many pictures. We were there for three hours and only saw the B25 fly.
Right before we left, they rolled out a beautiful TP-51C. I have never seen the plane before. I will try and post for shots by the weekend. The plane was originally built with dual controls. For anyone with a little extra cash, you an get 30 minutes of stick time for only $2,200.00 US. You can get the one hour flight for an additional $800.00. We watched a hot lady strap into the back seat for her flight. Sorry guys, I failed to get any shots of lady, the plane was getting in the way. We were told that they would do a photo pass after take off. It was not so much a photo pass as it was a high speed pass. The P-51 came in so fast I could not focus the camera on it. I went to the website but there is not information about the plane. Does anyone know the history of the TP-51C?
