Watsonville – air show pics

Mike Shreeve has some really nice pics posted from air show at Watsonville this last weekend.  They are worth checking out.  He’s got a really nice one of Ridge Runner, a P-51 Mustang, making its show pass.  Also, a really nice one of a C-130 with some nice prop effects.

To all the vets who gave it all so I can enjoy this weekend…..Thank you!

Here’s some nice art work from Victor Archer for you.

Planes of Fame airshow, Chino

Pictures are starting to come in.  More here.  Dan has a blog I started watching last week.  He has three separate posts from the show, and links to photo albums for each day of the show.

Many people got shots of what may very well be my favorite – two P-38s flying together.  I wish I could have been there.

You’ll want to keep an eye on Victor Archer’s site too.  I’m sure that his photos will be stunning once they are posted.

Cool story: flying fast saves a life

Speed of F-4 saved infant, now an adult.

We’ve seen this one here at Indy.  “Skidoo” is the name.  Great story about one of the few P-38’s that is still air worthy. [via]

Here’s a photo I took last year at the Indy Air Show.

Canadian Snowbirds: Blue skies Cpt. McCaughey

A Canadian Snowbirds pilot was lost yesterday in an accident near a Montana Air Force Base.  This has been a rough air show season already.  Prayers and best wishes to the family of Cpt Mc Caughey and his teammates on the Snowbirds. 

Lots of tributes and best wishes are being offered from the air show community also:  Air Show Buzz, AAFO.

My last view of the Snowbirbs was 2005, Reno:
