Shaun they held it at Mather, for those of you that don't know, Mather used to be a SAC Base that the B-52 used to fly out of. It was closed in the 90's and now the City of Rancho Cordova, Ca is trying to revitalize it. Currently it is used by UPS, DHL and FedEx as a main shipping hub.

I have been to a lot of air shows and I was pretty impressed with this one, I really was not expecting much. Unfortunately I did not see a lot of private planes there, it was mostly military.

Thumbs up

Great pic's Allen. Air shows great to watch! It's lots of fun to see those planes do unbelievable maneuvers. Last airshow I went to was in Grand Island, Nebraska. Got myself sunburned real badly that day but it was worth it...and my neck was stiff from all the gawking upward.:nod: It's amazing how those planes can withstand all the G's they're submitted to without disintegrating.
