Anyone know where I can find out when the next airshow at Van Nuys, CA is taking place?

But if you go take plenty of P-38 pics :)

Unfortunetly the P38 is on tour in the midwest. Don't think it will be back in time.

Animal, if you want P38 pics email me at wvoss62 @ Yahoo . com

C`mon dude, it'll be a hoot and a half, just like the last time. We won't climb fences this time though :)

I can't go, pretty much broke.  All travel cancelled until I get things under control.

Chino air show is May 17 and 18, right?  The E3 convention in LA is May 15, 16 and may prove to be a good combo with the air show.  Games, electronics and warbirds.  Maybe some of those in the field can use the E3 as a tax write-off for the trip.

Just bring your nose plugs when you go to Chino fellas...  It's smack dab in the middle of dozens of cattle ranches. Without exaggeration, I tell you the smell will bring tears to your eyes...

I will say one thing however... Next time you smell a bunch of cow manure, you'll immediately think of the great time you had at Chino. What a museum! I had an absolute blast there. Wish I could make the airshow.

Last chino airshow I had the mother of all hangovers. In mietla's car I was about to throw up in funked's head and then make a run for it back to LA because he is huge. I'm pretty sure my drunken antics caused a bad first impression!

But when I met the P-38 pilots the situation improved tenfold. Those old people made me very happy.

mietla I would love to go back again, but like funked I'm also in a tight spot economically. Next year we should plan it, maybe also a LAN party at your place? :)

No polish vodka though, that **** makes you climb fences and talk incoherently with slurred speech.
