Revan Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 shasta college FTW! i moved AWAY from redding back in 91 ---- go off to college : ) how's the heat up there this summer?? Well, it has been in the high nineties, and low 100s, but we are having some rain right now, it is around like 60 degrees. And Shasta college is looking brown, as the"drought" has put HUGE (and I mean huge, like misdemeanor and arrest for over watering) water restrictions on everything.

Booger Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm in Anderson, so pretty much all inbound traffic is right overhead. It's quite nice to hear all the noise...not including the thunder these last few days. It'll clear up for tomorrow, but overcast on Sunday. It should still be a good weekend nonetheless.
SDsc0rch Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 i remember the whole week before the airshow the jets would be overhead practicing (blues or t-birds) ---- the sound of freedom! 8) i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Revan Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Just got back from the airshow. Snowbirds are still going. They had to pause the performances like 4 times to accommodate CalFire planes. Highlights: T-33 trainer, Mock dogfight between A6M Zero, F-6 Hellcat, and a B-25 Bomber. CF-18 Demo, and, of course the Snowbirds. DCS: F-4E really needs to be a thing!!!!!! Aircraft: A-10C, Ka-50, UH-1H, MiG-21, F-15C, Su-27, MiG-29, A-10A, Su-25, Su-25T, TF-51

White Owl Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Haven't had the opportunity to get to an airshow for a couple of years, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I spent a lot of time hanging around where the performing aircraft were parked so I could watch them start up. The T-33 surprised me with the awesome bass growl when it first lit; very different from any modern jet engines I've ever heard. I think the A-6M Zero was one of the biggest highlights of the show. Not many opportunities to see one of those flying! In the static displays, I loved the replica Wright Model A and want very much to learn more about that project. Who built it, where, when, using what documentation? Obviously that little modern engine isn't authentic... how about the rest of the plane? Is it airworthy, or only for ground display? Man, I loved the looks of that bird.
Booger Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, I can't do this year either, unfortunately. As a kid I was in Civil Air Patrol and we used to always work the airshows and other fly-ins both at the airport & at Benton. There's also a program down in Red Bluff (held annually I think) where your kids can get a free ride in a private plane as sort of an introduction to aviation. I love this area for that. A lot of aviation-rich things happening. Now if people would stop setting stuff on fire...
