Wings Over Wine Country - 2009

I wanted to share some photos that I took at an air show here in Sonoma County, California, called "Wings Over Wine Country".
I didn't take as many photos as I really wanted because I was fighting the battery on my camera.


1-2): An old UH-1 Iroquois "Huey"

3): UH-1 specs

4-6): Sikorsky H-34

7): H-34 specs

8): Me in the cockpit. ;D

Nice ones. But I suggest to concentrate much on the special ones. I mean that the mass produced EC-135 or the C-130 USCG are not the best for this forum.

I apologise, but I was really looking forward to showing the C-17 Globemaster III and the A-10 Thunderbolt afterwards.
