For those that are new to my website, welcome! It has been a while since I've published an entry, but I have definitely been shooting a lot of film and have so much to share. This is my 100th post! I highly recommend viewing this website and the photos within from a computer or tablet, I've found that the mobile template just doesn't do it justice.
On the eve of the 2017 Riverside Air Show, which takes place Saturday, April 1st, I am
very belatedly sharing some of my favorite planes from the 2016 air show.
The air show, now in its 25th year, takes place each April at the Riverside Airport in Riverside, CA. It is a free event and has something for everyone, including stunt shows and demonstrations throughout the day, a huge variety of military planes from over the decades, and a fantastic classic car show.

| This 1940s Russian Antonov AN-2 biplane (here and image below) sadly crashed just a couple weeks after we saw it at the air show. We'd spoken to the caretaker of the plane, a volunteer, who said that he'd recently flown 13 hours one way to take it to a show in Texas. Luckily no one was injured during the crash. |
