RE: CA Jets 2010 photos etc.
The Internet connections at the Buttonwillow hotels are S L O W, so it has not really been possible to upload anything.
I saw Tony Quist and David Searles on the flightline with their cameras, so the pix should be flowing shortly.
BIG thanks to Kenny, Dave, Paul and the whole CA Jets/Barks crew. Super nice event, lots of perfect flying weather, non stop action on all 6 flight lines from early morning to sundown.
My first time flying in almost 15 months and it was awesome to be back burning 20 gal of Kero with the jet crew on my Cougar and MIG-21. And the HABU is such a kewl little jet also. Thanks a million Wayne for the help getting the planes flight ready. You sure know how it's done.
A few highlights:
Smoking Joe's A-10 demo... Soooo cool.
David Shulman on the deck with Ultra Lightning... Wow
Robbie Lynch... Makes electric jets look almost as good as turbines
Pablo... How low can you go
Andreas Gietz... Comp ARF A-4 Skyhawk demo was the scale highlight of the show. Hurry getting my kit ready. Can't wait to receive it
Billy... Making F-16 driving look so much fun
Fly Eagle Jets... Best fixed gear jets out there ;-)
Sammy... What would an airshow be without you announcing
Ron Long... Great deal, thank you
Bob Wilcox... Get that Viper/P-20 combo going. Looks sooooo sweet
Vex... Getting $100 for a banana bread to support the club
see you guys at the next one

Thanks JC...cold shot! However, I will let the pics speak for themselves. F-86...gear up. F-4 all weekend...gear up!!!!
All the gear is now being done in house instead of farmed out. Working a lot better now.
Also a big thanks to Kenny and the gang. This was a lot of work to pull off and you guys did a great job.

Thank you! Thank you! and more Thank you! to the organizers! Top notch event!
I had a BLAST! I saw some very good friend and the best part of the event I made some new friends too!
It was super to fly my Jet plane and thank you again for letting me fly my Lama turbine helicopter on Friday afternoon.

I really want to thank everybody that worked their asses off to make it a geat event. Dave, Kenny, Jill everybody. Paul Reese-couldnt do it without you. It all worked out well, a very well run flightline-you could fly as much as you wanted anytime (with the exception of the mass lineup at 1800 hrs on Friday-who wouldhavethuhk it) . Big thanks to the line bosses. Got to meet some new friends from the east-
The flights of Thomas and Andreas on the Euro and A4 will be remembered for a long time.
The how can you go contests were hard to judge but I think Thomas won it.
Joe McBride just keeps getting better and better with the Hog.
Dougies new Bandit is off the hook-pics dont do it justice.
Thanks McGoo for the most excellent grub.
Nick buddy-you gots to slow that Bandit down!!
Big thanks to Bob at JetCat for the engine-It looks like we will get a new turbine recruit out of it.
Thanks to Chad for his support.
The Habu Hive right at the start of dark was off the hook and really insane at the same time.
RON LONG_ UHHHHHHHHHH. Getting really good with that Hog boy.
That BIG Lama was amazing. (even more amazing is Mike hanging right in there to get get the pics)
Searls for all the great pics.
Shuieeeeee
Too many more to mention. Scotty.
