So...headed up to Mather Airport for the show but had no lens. My Canon 100-400 was giving me problems so I had to rely on my trusty Canon point-and-shoot - so no aerial shots...oh well, here are some shots from the static park. If it's on next year it's definitely worth a look!

You said it Robert, last year i was at Stead on Friday and caught the only arrival by Doug Matthews in his Corsair Race 24, Saturday, however, thats when most of the arrivals take place......tough decision!

Can't do it, must be at Reno

Yep, very cool. The bad news is that it is around the Reno Airraces

Most likely it will be only six lightnings. The Red Bull P-38 (formerly known as White Lightnin) is based in Europe, so I wouldn't expect it to show up. That's quite a flight.........

That is an impressive lineup! To bad the wife is expecting right around that date or i would be all over that!

Sorry folks, here's the link to Airshow Buzz, where the "buzz" started about the 38's

Got this email yesterday.....can you say "7" P-38 Lightnings?

here's their link, http://californiacapitalairshow.com/

the 38's arent listed as yet, this may be all preparation and no "H'n", like the 6 Tigercats at Reno last year, but if they get confirmed, it may a quick hop over to Mather from 4SD! I dont think quals start until monday the 13th, although arrivals are not to be missed for the big race

Cheers,
