Georgia, Syd, & all, Maynard is correct, it's tough to get all the busy people out here in CA to make the Fly out events however, I'm going to keep working at it. By the way, Merced and Watsonville are both very nice events. Watsonville is a larger, open to the public Antique Fly In & Air Show. Merced is a small town, old fashioned style Fly-In event. The Friday evening early bird dinner & sunset bi-plane fly overs at Merced are among my favorites! The Casa Grande Antique Fly In and Copper State Fly In are both good too. Arlington, WA is really fun howver it's about a 1,000 mile flight for me.
