The Chico Airshow was alot better than the Redding one in year past. "Rest Areas" that have seats and shade. The air museum was free and the building had A/C. Hey Bails to sit on at the flight line. It even looks like that let people bring in EZ-ups in. Props to the Chico Airshow:ernae:

The P2V is my first love. I carried quite a few cups of coffee across the wing beam when I was in the Reserves. Coffee go-fer and bow observer were about all I could do because I was too junior to qualify for aircrew. :) I thought that was the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (MAAM) P2V until I noticed the different Bureau No. on the tail. They both have VP-67 markings.

and the guy at chico was telling me that this one is painted with latex house paint because of california laws regarding paints.....
