    Sounds like a great show, but I'm saving my nickles and dimes for Chino.

    John Melby and Doug Jardine are great guys. They put on a good show and the Sbach is a real beauty. It's a shame the USAF disbanded the C-17 demo team. That was always a highlight of the show. Enjoy it! I'm already committed for the T-34 Gathering, which is the same weekend this year. No brainer for me though, watch airplanes from the ground, or watch them from the rear cockpit.

    It should be good. I am trying out the new lens for air-to-air on Friday. I'm a little nervous using a prime in the cockpit, but it's good to stretch the comfort zone now and again.

    Well again I didn't get to go to the Riverside show, had to go to Arizona and do some home repairs. But when I got back to Riverside, my wife and daughter gave me a years membership to The "Planes of Fame" Air Museum for my Birthday Tuesday, fantastic, I don't have to pay for the Chino Air Show I will be there Wheels, we can meet up mate.

    With the weather being so lousy in the morning I didn't go to the show either.

    I volunteered at the PoF museum so I will be working at the airshow both days. I don't know where I am going to be stationed but when I am certain I will let you know. If you drop in on a Saturday I am there detailing (Read that to mean washing and cleaning.) the planes.

    I know you are a real P-38 fan and Saturday the 7th, this coming Saturday, Planes of Fame will be hosting what I am told will be the last reunion of the 475th fighter group for the monthly event. Planes of Fame also intends to fly their P-38 as part of the monthly event.

It was unique in that it was the first all Lockheed P-38 group. Open to the public, we present a discussion panel of veterans and aviation historians followed by a question & answer period and flight demonstration, featuring the P-38 Lightning. At 12:00 noon, the Membership Sponsored raffle flight will be in the PT-17 Boeing Stearman.

    WHO: Eight veterans of the 475th Fighter Group will present the Group’s history and their stories of courage and sacrifice, as well as the experience of flying one of America’s premier fighters of WW2, the P-38 Lightning. Speakers from the 475th will include Col. Perry J. "PJ" Dahl and Captain Joseph M. Forster, both were aces with 9 confirmed kills each. Perry Dahl is currently President, Emeritus and board member of the 475th Fighter Group Historical Foundation. Kevin Thompson – Planes of Fame Air Museum Historian, Airshow Announcer and Moderator of Living History Flying Day events, will be moderate the presentation.

    WHEN: Saturday, April 7, 2012 10am–12 noon: Speaker program. Museum doors open at 9:00 am.

    WHERE: Planes of Fame Air Museum
    7000 Merrill Avenue #17

    WHY: It is the Mission of Planes of Fame Air Museum to preserve aviation history, inspire interest in aviation, educate the public, and honor aviation pioneers and veterans.

    Barring any unforeseen circumstances I will be there for this event.

    Found these while searching for pictures and videos of the show. Thought they were worth sharing.
