Rare Birds
« on: April 15, 2007, 05:42:43 AM »
Saw 2 of what I believe are rare birds flying over the backyard range this morning. Couldn't find them in any of Jeff's links.

Wow a private air show how cool is that? I dont get to see cool vintage stuff like that flying around where I live. The things I usually see are things like a black box with a parachute on it from a satallite in a dry creek bed lol. Ok Ok I called the company after doin research on the net about the company, they sent me a 100 dollar check and a prepaid shipping label for UPS to get there black box back. I still think I would rather look for rare birds.

We have a Wing of the Commemorative Air Force at an airport in Mesa , AZ, and they have a lot od old planes fly in from the other wings around the country to give rides  in the spring when the weather is bearable here. I live about a half mile from an airpark that has a lot of old planes and homebuilts there, from an autogyro to an F-86; also some AT-6's, Pipers, Cessna's, a Citation X bizjet( big , quiet, fast) and  they build the Rotorway Helicopter kits there. There's always something flying around and I live at the end of the base leg of the landing pattern. Pretty neat!

I LOVE WWII War Birds!

There's a small Squadron of P-51D Mustangs at the Hayward Airport that fly to the Local Shows. I Love watchin em fly over on the weekends in formation.

I saw them Escorting a B29 a couple years ago. It might be the same one you photographed too! If I remember right, there's only 3 B29's in Airworthy condition.
