It looks like a cool Airshow but Im going to be at the Heroes Airshow.

This is why you won't see me at Hanson Dam. I got the OK yesterday to cover this show (after a seven-hour drive).

So it's neat to get to go up there  but also nuts that I'll miss the copters. 

[NikonGuy]

Nice! you actually drove out there to request to cover the show?

Well I guess we'll meet some other day... maybe SMO or LAX?

I worded that post wayyy too wrong. What it should have said was that I'll be driving seven hours for the show (instead of an hour to Hanson Dam). Sorry about that.

Ahhh cool cool, gotcha

Grass valley is a great show, you are going to the right place. Have fun Jim, and get lots of pix

This is a neat one. Not only is it an Albatross, but there's a Beech 18 above the plane's starboard engomne and a lady photog in the nose.

Beautiful shots, Jim!
