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.

Image

They open up the aircraft and let the public look and sit in which is a great thing and is quite popular

Image

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

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!

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
