Camarillo Air Show

Stace and I returned to the Wings over Camarillo Air Show on Sunday, without the girls, though my parents met us there. (I blogged about our trip to the same show with toddler Cora here!)

I'm standing in front of a Spitfire belonging to the Commemorative Air Force based at Camarillo Airfield. 

We noticed the Union Jack, which drew us close, and learned that this 1942 Boeing Stearman biplane was flown around the world by Englishwoman Tracey Curtis-Taylor. She flew from Capetown, South Africa, to Goodwood, Sussex, on one trip. On another, she flew from Farnborough to Sydney, Australia. We chatted to her, and she signed her book for us.

 

There was a car show on one end, and we later noticed this sweet 1950s BMW Isetta bubblecar in a hangar that oozed money.

This one was a Coast Guard C-130 Hercules transport plane. 

We had a lovely day here, and later were able to meet up with our friends Rob and Michelle for an early diner before heading home.
