Air Shows

Anyone going to Hangar 24 brewery AirFest in Redlands CA this weekend? The beer is outstanding and so looks the lineup.

Too bad they couldn't get a better announcer, though.  They got some no name local.

I'm headed to the Paris air show in late June, anyone else going?

Epic event. One hell of a party. 

Too bad none of you T-6 guys brought one in. You would have enjoyed it. 

BTW, those were some gorgeous gals with you in the VIP tent, Bobsan.

Couldn't agree more. Hooters must be mandatory at every single airshow.

Here's a few shots from when I wasn't too busy watching the show, but they don't come anywhere near doing this event justice.

Yes, that has got to be one of the most scenic airshow venues out there.  The F-18 silhouetted on the mountains was quite a sight. 

As for the ladies, I was referring to the other three you were talking to.  I didn't see the Hooters gals there.

So my login here does still work!  Been a few years...

Great show, and fantastic job Huggy.  I've been to quite a few shows (including Nellis AF Tattoo) where the announcer has been just the worst...

Also, wonderful to meet you!

Hangar24 sure knows how to put on a good show!  Impressive considering how small that field is.  Pretty cool to hear it'll be two days next year!

I lost track, the turnout was great though. Also not pictured some excellent sideboob in a denim dress taking pinup photos on the wings

It was awesome that you stopped by. A few minutes after you left, I realized I hadn't gotten a pic with the two of us!  Doh!  There's always next year.   No matter: it was a  nice surprise to get to meet you. 

Thanks for the kind words. My voice is still recovering. 

After the response to last weekend, H24 is going to do a show in October at their Lake Havasu location.  Details to follow.

US turnout is better than what I would have thought. Is the F-16 from Aviano?
