Sweet it's official the Thunderbirds will be @ Point Mugu in Aug which is only about 10 min from my house...Mugu has some of the best vapor...I'll try and get some good shots in!

Yeah I'm thinking about driving down to this show. I live in the Bay Area, so it's a bit of a drive. Haven't decided if im going to do it yet.

This is one I may come over for - I have friends in Murrieta I can stay with. If I'm going to make it I'll look you up Bo.

Hmmm, too bad it's the first weekend in August, dang it.

Gunner & Grab let me know if you come out we can BBQ at my house and go see the show! You guys are always welcome @ my house. Last I talked to Wilbur the Patriots might be there too but not confirmed yet.

Sounds like fun - I may make a trip out there and join you all

I might just join the party!

I should be done with my indoc and have the 7th & 8th off I'm guessing (in PHX) before starting systems for three weeks straight after that weekend (someone kill me please). I can catch a ride from Sky Harbor to SoCal Friday evening unless Gunner needs a copilot. Would be cool to meet everyone on Saturday and catch some vapors before I'm up, off and out again in purgatory...

OK well if you guys come out I will put on a BBQ party! My treat.

@Gunner if you're flying...you can stay at my FBO I can waive all the ramp fees for you and put it in a hangar no charge.

If anyone needs to be picked up or ride to and from, I can give you one and I have some extra room if you need a place to stay. Would be fun and then we can prank call Striker. HAHAH

Thanks so much for the offer, but LD was referring to a copilot in the car. I'm only licensed for gliders, and that would be a little ambitious!

Maybe the PJT could hook you up with a tow.

How 'bout a tow behind the shockwave truck?

Looks like it should be a good show!

Just a quick bump since the air show at Point Mugu is two weeks out ( Aug 7-8 ). I'm still up for going, training schedule permitting. (I should be free from class Saturday & Sunday)...

Thunderbirds are towards the end. Seems Mr. Roberts used some Magic Bullet software to give the sepia look. FYI...this was shot with a Canon DSLR 7D camera. Amazing that digital still cameras are now shooting full hd resolution video.
