I was at Miramar on Saturday- There was some GA (got to see a Grumman
Widgeon for the first time!) and a few warbirds, about 15 or 20 depending
on your description of a warbird. Three L-29 Delfins and an L-39 Albatros
were there, along with a matched pair of ex-Swiss Hunters. At least one
Yak-52 made it, along with a B-25 in beautiful shape. For me the highlight
of the displays was the lineup of really cool commander's birds from each
of the squadrons on base- the Marines are going all out for cool paint
jobs. Only regret was not putting sunscreen on all the necessary spots and
having a v-shaped sunburn on my chest!


I always forget to 'screen the bottom of my chin.

Then I spend the whole day looking up at the air displays, and I'm sure
you can guess the rest. My wife calls it the "airshow burn" because
that's the only time I get that area of skin burned.
