We had a Fly-In last Sunday at Benton Field (O85) here in Redding hosted by the EAA and Hillside Aviation. They kick it all off with a pancake breakfast and it usually goes well into the afternoon. Lots of cool static displays (including some cars) as well as rides (fixed and rotary) available.
I've been going for a number of years now, dunno why I haven't posted pics in the past, but I am this year
We even had a hot pass by a L-29 that's owned locally. I didn't know it was inbound until I heard it, but was able to get off a half-decent shot as it was halfway down the runway (the others were of it's arse as it headed north...)
Thanks Eric!
It was a real nice day, not too hot with a breeze out of the NNW. The blue/white Ercoupe is nice, but trust me, they need to keep a close eye on me when I'm around the yellow/polished one...lmao
Thanks guys...it was a fun day (would have been much better with my daughter), though I noticed that while the crowd seemed to be a bit larger than in past years, there were fewer aircraft attending this year.
Matter of fact, this is the first time (that I can remember) where a vintage warbird didn't attend...hopefully next year will have a better turnout of hardware
