Camarillo, California |
The Camarillo Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-in on August 25, 2001 featured so many different kinds of airplanes, that I had to make three pages to hold them all:
Transports, airliners and general
aviation aircraft at the fly-in.
Training aircraft at the fly-in.
Combat aircraft at the fly-in.
Camarillo hosted an airshow on August 11, 2002. It featured the aircraft of the southern California Wing of the Air Force formerly known as Confederate and the Experimental Aircraft Association.
