Old Love Field Airshow pics

Was carousing some of the old family albums and ran into these. Man! These date from about 1993 to 1995 or '96. Keep in mind I'm 20 now, so 13 years ago I was only seven... These airshows were AWESOME!

Personally I wouldn't argue with any kid who looks that determined behind the HMG.
If he thinks he's big boned, then big boned it is. Honest!!

And the C-46 "Tinker Belle" is a CAF plane that spent about 2 years at Camarillo getting renovated. Tinker Belle has an interesting history. She was impounded by the DEA after a drug run. I have a picture of her in the impound lot taken years ago at home somewhere.

Tinker Belle, at the time registered in the civilian world as N608SE, was impounded sometime in 1978 for "customs irregularities". It is believed that it was running drugs, but I don't have all the details as to where it was coming from and going to. If you search on airliners.net for that registration, there are shots of it and another that were impounded at the same time.

One more thing I should note is that the other C-46 impounded with N608SE, which became Tinker Belle, was N53594, which became China Doll! So both CAF C-46s were once illicit drug runners! Here is the link to the shot of the 2 aircraft as criminals:
