I took the family for an outing on Sunday to the Santa Paula Airport for a little outing. The first Sunday of the month is an open house of sorts. They open the hangars up for you to look in and see the aircraft. It is a tiny little municipal airport with alot of history and character. Remember the picture during the rains where part of the runway was washed out? They have worked out a way to make it work and are flying again.

There is an interesting mix of vintages there, most of them are 40s and 50s.

During the first sunday events there, they often have other clubs show up. There was a Corvette club there as well. They were almost all newer 'Vettes, no classics. So I didn't bother with pics of the 'Vettes.

Yeah, that AgCat looked like it had seen signifigant usage.
 
Thanks Roy. I've got a Canon S series, don't remember the number off the top of my head. It's a 5 megapixel digital. I like it for the close in and ground shots, but the zoom is not enough for aerial shots. I'd like to go with a SLR digital at some point.

Nice pics! I notice lots of 'Vettes there, whats the deal with that?

That Grumman AgCat has a weird kind of rustic charm that I like 8)
