Wow Dors is right Odegaard and Pietsch put the Corsair and the P40 right on the deck. And like the geek I am I'm cheering them on in front of the computer LOL I think they were trying to cut some bikini straps on the beach.

Here are some quick screen-grabs from the youtube video that I liked.
It looks like a great time was had by all, and I wish I had been there!

Then the Woodland Hills HOA would go nuclear when said BUFF thundered over their heads. Sometimes the airshow departures were as entertaining as the airshow itself! You could almost see the phone lines start to glow after the '52 or any other heavy left :lol:



Yup, best days were the Friday before & the monday after the VNY airshow. Not much work used to get done at the airport on those 2 days.
