Assorted Air Show Photos

The air show was located on the closed NAS field which is now the
Goodyear Regional Airport. At the time of the show, the field was
stagnant so the town gave permission for the C.A.F. to have their event
there. The show consisted of various fly overs and a reenactment of
Pearl Harbor using the T-6 Texans that starred as Zeros in the movie.
These shots are the B-17 of the Arizona Wing: the Sentimental Journey
with a clipped and enlarged part of the flyover shot. The same setup
with a P-38 Lightning. Also to come later are a PBY and a P-51. Wow,
listening to the Mustang go over let's you know just why the ground
troops were so elated when the P-51s came to their aid.
