Santa Barbara Veterans Day parade flyover

I got to fly with a parade flyover group last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous and the flyinf was outstanding. We took off from Camarillo in 2 groups, the first was a single ship T-28 and the second was a 2 ship of T-34 Mentors. We formed up over the oil drilling platforms near Santa Barbara for a three ship first pass up State Street. About 3/4 of the way up, the T-28 pulled up and out of the formation and turned for a single ship back down State Street, followed by us in the T-34s.

On the way home, we made a "Beach Run", low altitude over the water at a reasonably good clip. Photos are on my site at the link below:

Samples? You bet!

Thanks guys. You would have loved that flight Joe. The air was smooth as glass over the ocean. It was like flying on a table top.

Great stuff Eric! Another great reason for the forum to be back up: your regular photo updates and cool flights that you take.

Keep up the good work man!

Cheers guys. Last night I got a couple of photos from Don's GIB (guy in back). It's pretty rare that I am in front of the lens these days, so what the heck.
