Once in the west Fresno '95. Gordon

Post by Gordsmith » Tue Aug 02, 2022 9:58 am

A brief visit to the Fresno '95 show produced the following from the static. we did not stay for any flying. The show was mainly "warbirds" and civilians in "warpaint". I confess that I ignored most of them, but the "Connie", different to my offering from Point Mugu, made the visit worthwhile. Regards, Gordon.

Oh! The lovely Constellation!!. Memories!". Had to have a slight smile at the Connie with no fence around it, yet the poor little innocuous Cessna 150 was roped off. That was a lovely pic for me. Loved the Connie, and learnt to fly on the 150. Cheers, Gordon. Please keep these coming!!.

Nice to see the C-121C photos, have some great memories flying in this machine from Geneva in 2004.

Again a great selection of aircraft that could be seen in the nineties. You obviously managed to get in early with so few people around the aircraft. Thanks a lot for sharing these images. Best regards,
Arnold
