 | Riverside Airshow- March 28, 2009 Yesterday was another fun Riverside Airshow. They had some cancellations and some schedule shifts, but there were some real highlights. The F-18s cancelled, leaving their demo and legacy flight space open. The USAF Reserve F-16s made quite a show that had everyone forget about the F-18 cancellations (I had to grin a bit about the Air Force showing up the Navy.). The CAF SoCal Wing did some nice work flying the F6F, F8F and the Zero. The C-17 demo was incredible, with the aircraft performing maneuvers that would almost make it capable of pylon racing! There were also some great formations by the T-6s and the CJ-6 groups.

| Thanks Erich. It was a little on the warm side for March, but the breeze in the afternoon made it nice. We had some wind earlier in the week that pushed out the smog and made it clear.
