The Santa Rosa air show has a nice Warbird turn out. Here are a bunch of photos:
CAUTION
THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN NOSE ART WITH OR WITHOUT DEPICTIONS OF SCANTLIY CLAD-NON MALE HUMAN FORMS. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION OR EXCERCIZE YOUR RIGHT TO CLICK ON THE BACK BUTTON NOW.
Some folks are quite creative to try and get the perfect shot. I thought this was Roger Cain at first but this guy was much too short for Roger.
The Pacific Coast Air Museum, who puts on the show as a fund raiser, has quite a nice collection of aircraft. This is their A-26 which has come a long way thanks to a great bunch of dedicated volunteers who work hard on her.
They open up the aircraft and let the public look and sit in which is a great thing and is quite popular
Couldn't find an N number on this P-40
Here is the always happy Jim Ricketts who flew his buddy's L-5 to the show.
These next shots are of the PCAM aircraft jet line up. Almost all of them were open to the public
LAST WARNING- SHOULD THE SCANTILY CLAD-NON FEMALE FORM OFFEND YOU THEN:
EJECT-EJECT-EJECT

Great pics, looks like a good show. I wish more museums would have their stuff out like that to get some fresh air.

Great shots Taigh!
That A-26 is an early one with the forward opening cockpit hatch.
Not too many of those around.

Love the classics..,
reminds me of the airshows when I was a kid!!!
geez, i forgot how small the intakes were on the F-105's!
You could have flown an F-105 into the F-4's intakes!
Thanks again! Great shots.., I hate the artwork on the panels though.., looks like they belong on a hot rod!

Couldn't find an N number on this P-40
and you doubtfully ever will. It's headed for display at the Charles Schultz Museum.
It has no airworthyness certificate much less a N number
