The first annual Military History Show at Benton Airfield (O85) here in Redding was a great day.
The show is to bring together warbirds, armor, military vehicles, historical artifacts and even classic cars, all under one event. There was even a little aerial display by one of Benton Field's own T-34s.
This year also had a fundraiser for the local law enforcement K-9 programs and the turn out was really impressive. Next year should see more warbirds as this event gains momentum. There were also airplane rides, a pancake breakfast, a fixed and rotary aircraft display by the California Highway Patrol and a large row of vendors. I intended to get down to the area that had all the classic cars and street rods but I was short on time so that didn't happen.
I'll be sure to grab them next year!
And now for the photos!
