Taxiing to the runway for takeoff in Hollister - behind Hollywood and in front of Travis.
Andreas flying on the wing of Hollywood - definitely too low and too far out. Got chewed out during de-brief for that.
This site-picture looks better - much better - right on the money.
Andreas on the other side of Hollywood on the way to Moffett Field
All three aircrafts have smoke on in echelon formation - ready to break to the left
Hollywood and Andreas during the break overhead Moffett Field - still smoking
What a beautiful view of Moffett Field - this is where Air Force One lands when in the Bay Area.
Three WWII bombers are already on display and ready for rides - (front to back) a B24, a B17 and a B25 from the Collins Foundation
Andreas just crossing Highway 101 and ready to land on 32L in Moffett Field
