Salinas Airshow 2009

Over the past three weekends I was able to go to the Salinas Airshow, the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca, and IRL at Sears Point. I'll be posting pictures from each of these events over the coarse of the week. First the Salinas Airshow. This year the show was moved to August, so there were no Canadian aircraft in attendance. The show consisted of most civilian acts, the A-10 Warthog Demo, and the US Navy Flight Demostration Team the Blue Angels. The civilian acts I'll post later, here are the military performers.
