On March 27th, the 18th "Wings and Fins" air show car show was held at
the Riverside Airport. The show ran from 9 am to 4 pm but we arrived
before seven that morning to get a good spot. This show usually brings
in a lot of cars and this year was no exception with over two hundred
vehicles their.
I really like this show because it seems to have something for
everyone. With all the different aircraft, vendors, radio controlled
aircraft, skydivers, food, displays and flybys, this place puts on a
great show.
The weather that morning while leaving town was very windy and cold,
but once we arrived it was nice and calm. Larry and I looked at each
other in disbelief because the weather was so different just 35 miles
away. But that ended up being short lived because in an hour or so, the
wind started up (like we dragged it with us on our way over) and blew
all day. It was so bad that most of the air show was canceled and only a
few planes were able to fly that day. I heard the announcer say that it
was blowing over 25 mph and if it decreased a little, they could start
flying but it didn't happen.
As the day went on the wind kept blowing and when it was time for
lunch around 11 that morning, I couldn't wait to try one of Larry's
sandwiches that he brought. It was a joint effort because I brought the
sides. I grabbed a few chips, put them next to my sandwich and the next
thing I saw were all my chips going under the guys car parked next to
me. You talk about to much wind...wow!!
Fact of Life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F.
I took a bunch of pictures so sit back and enjoy.
