Once upon a time in the west, Salinas 30/9/95

This show was somewhat better attended than Fresno and once again the "Connie" stole the show for me. Gordon.

Looks like a super show, have to agree the Connie is the star exhibit.

Again a very nice presentation of aircraft present at a US air show. Thanks a lot Gordon for sharing them with us. And again you managed to avoid the crowd that would immediately put their chairs under a wing to get some shade. How lucky we were to be able to travel to these destinations and having a wife tolerating us to spend time at airfields.
Best regards,
Arnold

Agree with Keflavik. Think I saw that Connie fly into Nellis for the 50th Anniversary show. Not quite so easy with wives tho. Mine had a penalty clause that if I went abroad to a show, I had to pay for her to go to a foreign Athletic Championship !!.Lovely pictures, and always the blue sky in the States!.

Thank you one and all for the comments. My wife was very tolerant of my hobby and was happy to tag-along IF we could visit some local gardens and horticultural places. More of our long lasting relationship re-travel later. regards Gordon

Great stuff, I'm a sucker for a Buffalo.

Your A-10 is back to front though!

capercaillie.....OOPS! Well spotted. I'd make excuses, but it is probably enough to say I am old! Gordon
