From what I know about the wing, it taxied out and then taxied back to its spot. The announcer said it was due to the winds being too strong for it too be taken up, but, from where I was sitting I could see someone climb on it and start looking at the canopy area. So for now I am sticking to the windy story.

Otherwise, great show and I left my camera in my girls car and she went home!! Sorry!

A new canopy wouldn't be any harder to find than the one they made for it that is on there now I don't think! :mrgreen:

Consolidated

We were discussing at dinner on Friday the challenging photographic conditions that exist at Chino. Here are some illustrations of a couple of examples- heat distortion and haze!

Sure would have been nice to see this fly with the Collings B-24 which was only about 25 minutes away by air.

A few more! That A-4 is suweeeeeet!

Nice lighting between 7:00-7:30 PM, and some test flights in the background made for some nice opportunities to get some action in the background (and you don't need a ticket!).
