I used to live in Chino Hills and the air show is always a lot of fun. Good post.
Sharon, when I lived in Florida they had a Warbird type air show and I loved going to them. Yours there in Chino sounds like great entertainment for this weekend. Your comment about Flo's is already making me hungry. Enjoy!
Kim - the airshow is fun!
Gary - I enjoy attending - there is so much history and aviation enthusiasts.
This post just begs for a photo or two! I posted today about things that fly, too. Here's a photo. LOL

Yes Sharon, if you took any pictures maybe add them to the post. I like all the color of the planes on the ground at air shows. I'd love to go to an air show and see one of those tri-wing red colored World War I German Red Baron planes. The green B-17's are pretty cool too. I really need to get to Washington D.C. and tour the Air and Space Smithsonian museum. I think they moved it out toward Dulles Airport, unless that's another one too.
Sounds like fun, Sharon - pics? I love the sleek yet powerful lines of the old warbirds!
