Riverside, CA Air Show April 5th 2014

Good show, good food, combines air show with a regular car show which seems to have a few cars/trucks not all shiny and such; plus usually 20-30 MV's.

The USAF flew a C-17 in two years ago, did a public walk-thru all day, then flew it in the show. When they flew it down the air strip, they were only about 150-200 feet off the deck, ground speed like only 30-40 mph, and the nose was so high the fuselage looked to be tilted at about a 45 degree angle. Truly awesome to see.

It was cool to see the C-17 back up several humdred feet on the taxi way as well. They had the door open in the back with some airman watching. I guess C-17's don't come with rearview mirrors.

I might make it out with the new rig.
