United States - California - California International Airshow 2008 - Salinas - 09/26/08

They are different lots.

There are vents on the top of the engine bay there. Those look like they are used to direct that air out.

edit: I looked at some other pics and those vents are a bit forward of the engine vents. It looks like its in an area where there are some fuel valves. I am gonna guess some sort of fuel system vent.

Funny Face and Pretty Face 

OK, anyone else notice the baseball on the glass sticker on the C130.  Next question for those who were there.....is it the Red  Sox? 
Great shots everyone.

My daughters and I attended the air show on Sunday.  As stated in earlier posts, the Thunderbirds were "fogged out".  Our lovely Bay Area fog (I grew up in Daly City, second only to Pacifica in cloud cover) can put a damper on an otherwise very enjoyable day.   We met with Keith Breazeal before and after the show and were introduced to Bernardo Malfitano--nice to meet you.

Very nice!  I haven't looked at the video from Sunday yet.  I might post the vapor shots and add some slo-mo.  Still loading the cards from Friday and Saturday into the computer.

Keith, it was great to see you.

Still, I'm glad I got out of there before things got that desperate 

And where are those "spot the FenceCheckers" crowd shots you took on Saturday?

Here you go Bernardo 



Let me finish off my F-18 folder here...

It was great to meet you, "BusyMom". And sheesh, in your daughter's picture, I look even more tired than I felt... 

Here you go Bernardo 

That's my camouflaged hat near the left edge of the picture, and Jim (GFY Dad) is standing behind me in a blue shirt aiming his big Nikon. Anyone else in there?
