    Redding Airshow (2011)

    The Redding Airshow at the Redding Municipal Airport was held through the weekend of September September 24 & 25.
    The weather Saturday was nice, but of all things, it was overcast and raining on Sunday (the day I went) so everything was gloomy. I can't complain though, the last airshow (2009) had temps of 111° and had people dropping from heat exhaustion!



    I took a good deal of photos but didn't have all my lenses with me because of the weather, so I wasn't able to get alot of "walk-around" shots of the static displays like I wanted. I did manage to get some decent shots of the flight demonstrations in spite of the overcast, so that was my trade-off!

    Excellent shots Dave!!!! I noticed the SU-2, Terry Schilson flew those in the Navy. He's the one I go flying with. The Stearman is gorgeous as is the Stinson(?). Hope we all have a better airshow season next year.

    I took a break from posting, there's just a few static display photos left and then a series of flight demonstration pics coming up!
