Sadly, after 43 years the airshow up the street is over. :(
--------------------------------
It was a wonderful run with alot of memories for me. I am developing the pics and will post them (got some GREAT pics of the Bud Clydesdale horses!)
two things I will remember about this one..
A small Vietnamese woman asked my friend to take her picture next to a jet.
I told my friend afterwards...this might have been a plane that once bombed her country! :eek:
Later two men asked me to take their picture next to a Russian MIG.
One held his hand over his heart and made a sad face.
I didn't catch it that they were both young Russian men...
As I got the "joke" I told them "I bet you never expected to see a Russian jet on the ground here in the U.S....."
They laughed, thanked us and went on their way.
We spent so many years fighting, mistrusting, hating and killing each other-
Just to meet on a small airfield in Southern California to admire the things that kept us apart for so long. :confused:
