Don't know the story behind the gorgeous classic, but I spent a lot of timing admiring her

Beautiful chopper...Eurocopter???  Anyone know???

US Marines Metroliner

This biplane was sitting there as well, I don't know what it is or the story behind it either...

How many porter-johns does it take to match a C-5?

A USMC Texan, and my wife in the red  :)  Her first air show ever.

I think that Kamaka Gooney is a RD4-8, or "Super DC-3"... probably still working hard. Beautiful! ;D


The biplane is a Waco UPF-7. ;)

The chopper looks like a Eurocopter EC-145... common in Europe...

I love the Metroliner... we don't get to see many shots of that plane...

That helo is a McDonnell Douglas bird.  I don't remember its designation, but I believe it was a replacement for the MD-520.

Great shots, Cleaver way you have of measuring the length of a C-5 I've never seen it done that way before. Did your wife like the airshow? Or will it be her last?
