Moffett Field - North of San Jose, CA - a beautiful airport - closed for General Aviation. We were invited to display our aircrafts with three bombers of the Collins Foundation. |
|
The old Hangar One - built for airships - is supposed to be torn down soon, but maybe not. |
|
5 Stearman flew in to be displayed - three in Formation - two in loose Formation. |
|
A beautiful B25 from the Collins Foundation on display and waiting for passengers buying rides. |

The very same B24 on takeoff roll. |

The third aircraft is a B17. |

The cockpit in great condition |
|
Immediately after takeoff we were allowed to walk around the whole airplane - here still on climb-out. |
|
Coming around for a pass over the field |
|
The gunners place in the front of the aircraft is a great place to enjoy the view. |

You can look out the top of the airplane just behind the bomb-bay - rather windy - almost blew my camera away. The Los Gatos Hills in the background |

A wonderful view of the starboard engines. |
