What no pictures?

I saw they had 6 P-38s on the ramp with five of them flying at one point.  Agh the sound of all those Allisons.  Must have been quite a show. :aok

Here is some footage filmed during the Saturday Planes of Fame Chino airshow. 

Great footage, the Korean renactment is one of my favorite bits.  Thank you so much for sharing this, I couldn't make it and regret not beign there for the great show this year.  I just helped replace the top cylinder on that Zero the weekend before, it's great seeing her fly so well.

So many corsairs, wow.

Looks like we substituded the SpitXIV for the F6F.  HAH!  Looks like Lips snuck his T6 in next to the zig on the line (red nosed and polished one).  And was that Miss Kandy (the yellow nosed blue tailed pony) in one of those photos?  I do believe it is.  She stopped by our hangar two weekends ago too, got soem gorgeous shots of her next to MoW.  Posted below.

went there with my family. we posted up under the wing of the pby4 privateer, aka b-24 with big single tail. was a good show. went Saturday and it was pretty warm, sunday woulda been much cooler. they had 5 p-38s and an f5- lightning. they flew 5 at once, pretty cool.

an earlier variant like an F or  a

Don't forget Wings Over Camarillo in August, rumor is Pt. Magu is off.  We're close to the ocean in the summer, and we're buddies with Chino so they come over with a bunch of their cool planes for the weekend (we've had the wing the last couple of years, a jug, the 190A, a F7F and a P-38 last year in adition to all our own aircraft)

Our spit XIV was there, and knowing Chino there was probabley at least another one or two on the line.

Ask them (the show's organisers) to pitch in for shipping over a SpitXIV from California, and a few pilots/mechanics/support along with it (and/or our A6M3, F6F, F8F...  :devil ), I'd love to!   :cheers:

I'm going to see if I can get to Dux this year. Highly doubtful though :(
