Wings Over Gillespie Airshow

[BrandonF]

I attended a local airshow this weekend. It was very cool! Here's a few pictures I took. There's a link after them for a slideshow of many more pictures taken at the airshow. There was lots of pretty planes.

Nice day out! What is the hose under the Sheriff, does she do water too?

Great shots! I've flown outta Gillespie countless times. In a few of the shots I can see my dads shop in the background. Always loved when they had the airshow there as the planes would always fly over my parents house. The sound of Mustangs, B-17's, Corsairs... loved it!

I remember several years back they had a Piasecki H-21 (flying banana)... interesting sight and sound there. They also had a beautiful tri-motor there.

On the list of aircraft that would be there for this year's airshow, they had the H-21 listed. But I never saw it. I am thinking that maybe the crew wasn't available, or the helicopter was down for maintenance, or something. It' may not even have been there the day I went and showed up for the next day.

Yea the H-21 is based out of Ramona airport where there is a pretty cool helicopter museum.
