A little out of order, but I thought I'd start things off with these top three photos. After the solo demos of this plane, the Bulldog and the Shockwave jet truck, they all combined to give on a show. The flame behind is coming from the Shockwave.

Plane containing the Golden Knights parachute team. A Fairchild.


Panchito, a B25.


Thunderbirds on the flightline. I had to leave before they performed. They were the closing act.


New Gold F260, from Rhodesia. Piloted by Chuck Lischer


The Red Eagle, from the Red Eagle Sports Team


Nancy Lynn signing autographs.
She opened the Sunday show. I watched her while I walked the long walk from where I had to park to get to the flight line, but wasn't able to get any photos.


Thunderbird pilot Capt. Nicole Malachowski, flies the #3 jet as the right wing pilot in the diamond formation.
The Thunderbirds gave out a full color brochure on which the pilots signed their autographs. This was before their show started.

In an aside...Patty Wagstaff had been announced with an autograph session at noon, but I hadn't caught where the announcer said it was to be held, and as I wandered around asking various people who looked like they were "working" the event, they didn't know either. Very irritating.


The Bulldog, a modified Pitt Special, piloted by Jim Leroy.
