Not the largest air show because of the air port's location, but still a nice collection of War Birds, experimental aircraft and aerial demonstrations. People were allowed to get close up to all aircraft
Very nice series. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like great fun. Nice set.
Nice shots. I especially like the P-51 shot from an unusual angle. Thanks for sharing these.

Excellent shots - and a mighty chair, shrinking as we watch 🎯🎯🎯🎯
There used to be a Super Constellation based at Camarillo. She showed up for the Salinas, CA airshow in about 2000-2003. When she departed Sunday evening, you could see the nose drop when they wound up all 4 Wright Turbo Compound R-3350’S. The nose jumped back up when the pilot let off the brakes. Flames were shooting out of the exhaust. She had barely left the ground when she hit the last marker on the runway and cleared the boundary fence by about 20 feet.
Neat Zero. Looked it up, when they restored it the original engine was junk and they couldn't find another so they put in a Pratt & Whitney. The Russian company that restored it claimed to use a lot of original parts but people who examined it say they used parts from other planes or made new ones using the old ones as templates.
But it looks good.
Willaim.. excellent .., enjoyed every shot .., left me wanting more …
Nice images. Oh that poor "Bug" trying to stay in the sky with the Trojan.
Love those legacy flights.
Nice set of air show photos.
