 | There are some airplanes that are there at every show, but the flying displays will rotate some. Four years ago, one of the highlights was 5 P-47s in formation and individually. This years was 4 Corsairs, last year 3 P-38s. They always throw something really cool together. After my first year going to Chino, I vowed I wouldn't miss one as long as I am living.

| I certainly want to try and make it to one. Maybe after I move to the Pacific region.

| Make sure you have plenty of sun screen. I remember some of the German contingent of my photography group came to that show a couple of years ago and they were pink within an hour and lobster red about half way through the day. The sun here is more intense than in Europe. It took several years for my skin to get used to it. My only complaint about Chino is that is normally has hazy gray mornings. Some years it burns off nicely by the afternoon, some years it's stays for most of the day. Aside from that, it's definitely worth the trip.

| Enjoy. The pics of the armor was from a group of historical re-enactors. There was a German, Russian and US contigent, and smaller groups from the Brits and Japanese.
