I saw a white tailed P-40 fly into Gillespie Field on Saturday. I was on the road heading to a friends house, so I did not get a chance to go investigate the plane further.

That would be Hangar 180's P-40N "Suzy", which is now based out on the west coast as I recall. It was at the Planes of Fame airshow last weekend.

Aw man. Sad to hear she's left the East. Saw her at Geneseo one year. Didn't fly due to maintenance issues if I recall. Plus it rained a lot that year. Very nice looking P-40.

The Collings tour is over at Moffett NASA/Ames for their annual ten day run. 8)
So far today I've seen the B-17 and B-25, but I've been hearing them rumbling around the west valley here all morning. :)
Will be hearing that all week. :P

Snowbirds flew over today.

They're over at Anderson Regional Airport for the airshow

I hadn't seen them in years so it was fun seeing them fly over the house at 1500AGL

Saw a couple T-6s while camping in the Eagle, WI area over the weekend. Didn't get a good look at the markings. Also saw a couple high-wing radials, but they weren't close enough to get a good ID.

Saw an O-2 heading East and then North, I'm sure making its way to a parade.
