Hangar Talk : Watsonville Airshow pics from The Biplane Forum
Today we drove 40 miles to a local airshow and fly-in at Watsonville Airport. I am attaching a few pics from the show that I thought were of particular interest. I had never been to this show before and was pleasantly surprised. There were lots of nice antiques including nearly 10 Cubs. Since we own a J-5 we are always interested in Cubs and similar era planes. There were actually quite a few more than were at Sun n' Fun. Also there were some beautiful Stearman, Wacos and the gorgeous Laird LC-1B-300 in the photo below. The gigantic biplane pictured was Russian made and flew up from Southern CA. Also pictured is the Boeing 40 from WA that was in the magazines recently. All in all it was a nice event with a few warbird demos and regional airshow performers. ...

Memorial Day - Not Just for Cooking Out from Alabama Aviator - Aviation News
LUXEMBOURG -- Memorial Day is a holiday, peculiarly observed. If you have not served on a detail, volunteered for honor guard, or flown a missing man formation over a military ceremony on Memorial Day, you may primarily associate this holiday with the running the Indianapolis 500, the beginning of the Critical Days of Summer, or just a glorious three-day weekend at the end of May.
The official function of Memorial Day is to honor the men and women of the United States who have died while serving our nation's military service. It is an American holiday, with obscure origins even though it is less than 150 years old, and claimed by many as their own patriotic invention. Officially proclaimed in 1868, Memorial Day became widespread by 1902, and was named a federal holiday in 1971. ...
