A friend and I were there at that air show and we camped out in the campground area for 5 days and 5 nights. These airshows have much to offer; there were many types of aircraft, veterans, pilots, aviation families, aviation enthusiasts, meeting all kinds of people, and learning more about the world of aviation. There were also workshops, where you learn hands-on, on how parts of an aircraft are made, and that learning will give you a new perspective, understanding, and experience. Our trip was beyond incredible, more than words can say. I recommend for everyone to go an air show. We can learn so much from these types of airshows, the pilots, and our veterans. All the pilots, veterans, and aircraft have a story. You never know who you might meet or what type of aircraft you will see. This air show was one that my friend and I will never forget.
My uncle flew A-20s in New Guinea in 1944. I wish he was still around to talk to again. This time I would as many more questions, as long as HE felt like talking.
Yes -- we grew up surrounded by the World War II generation. Glad I learned as much as I did from talking with them, but wish I had done more. Thanks for watching and commenting. Here is a special video we made for Airailimages about the A-20: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WG3K0rG-EJ0.html
I saw the A20 as it was nearing completion at Chino. A great hanger to snoop around. Put Chino on your bucket list. Got to spend a little time around Glacier Girl as the rebuild was started soon after coming out of the ice. Saw a lot of P38s at Colorado Springs during the War. So good to see more 38s back in the air.
I'd love to be there - if only to experience all of that horsepower. It gives me chill just thinking about what is being presented in this short video. Thanks for sharing with us.
very nice landing and take off images. Love the WWII planes. C-47 reminded me that in addition to being a radio technician, I also got to ride in a C-47 as cargo courier from Bien Hoa, South Vietnam to the other IV corps areas. Then in 1970 was transferred to Francis E. Warren AFB, Cheyenne Wyoming. No runway so a c-47 was kept at the Cheyenne Airport. Unfortunately around 1972 it crashed at the Cheyenne airport, trying to land in heavy fog. No survivors. Was told that it was one of the last C-47's in the USAF inventory, not sure of that fact though.
Yes -- Texas Raiders was part of the warbird scene with the CAF since the 1970s. Let's remember Texas Raiders and all of her crews over the decades for the many years of air show service they gave us all.
Thanks for commenting. We've evolved the way we make air show videos to use music beds only when the native audio is unusable, or if commercial music is audible over the PA system, or when using extreme slo-mo which renders audio like a sick basset hound. So we hope you'll watch more Airailimages videos, and please understand that we use minimal music on the new ones.
Well, of course, we appreciate your comments. And several times a year we need to remind viewers that we use ambient audio whenever it is usable. But when an air show PA system plays commercial copyrighted music, we can't use that audio. And whenever we use slo-mo, ambient audio is not usable. That's when you hear the music. Judging from the hundreds of thumbs-up, we must be doing something right.
