Re: Pics: Capitol Air Show 2008

Thankfully, there's another show this summer in my area -- Wings Over the Wine Country -- that is mostly about the props --- so the shows balance each other out nicely!

I remember when I was stationed at Castle AFB, there used to be a good WWII round up in Madera.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

Re: Pics: Capitol Air Show 2008

No, nothing that I saw. There were several helicopters though... blackhawks, huey, cobra...

Was it a USMC Cobra? And what organization owned the Huey?

I don't know -- I didn't go over to see the Cobra. The Huey was an old air national guard bird

I believe all the Cobras are out of ARNG service. I'm not certain on the Hueys in the ARNG.

Glad you liked it! The slideshow is built into my photo hosting site -- phanfare - Photo sharing and video sharing network for families. -- which is similar to say, smugmug. All you need to do is upload your pics, music, and then it does the rest -- you can set transition types and duration fo images and set captions and picture order. It's very simple and quite fun.

(This is a paid hosting service, not a freebie.)
