Unofficial Cali Jets shots

The Journey begins from Vegas to Bakersfield and California Jets at the Willow 2009.
A Beautiful shot just outside of Bakersfield.
As I was moving along I realized that Button Willow is in the middle of nowhere.
The further into the country I traveled it seemed as if time stood still.

This was a first class event and I tried to cover every angle for those that could not make it.
Hopefully we will see you next year. I hope you enjoy all of the pics...

The A-10's were worth the price of admission.

Chad and Alan Szabo made the trip from Vegas. This was definately the smallest turbine powered aircraft at
the Willow.

The pilots briefing covered the safety expectations and rules. The start up area was equipped with thrust deflectors,
a very good idea.

Some rarely seen models. A Shalish Patel F-86 a red electric Vector.
The F-84 The T-38 and the F-5 along with the single turbine powered Su-27.
All I can say is WoW! Shalish Patel brought a Yellow Aircraft F-14 kit too sell.
