California Capital Airshow video

A brief video of some of the things I saw at the airshow

 

California Capital Airshow-Part 2

 I forgot to preface this in part 1. One, it was a hot day in Rancho Cordova during the airshow.  Luckily, it was a dry heat.  All day long under the sun and heat, it eventually got to me.  By the time the Thunderbirds started their show, I had to sit on the ground to watch the show.  I should have drank more water but lesson learned.  Also, I thought my camera was malfunctiong at one point.  I could not take any video no matter how hard I hit the bottom.  Later I realized the memory card was full with over 2 years worth of vacation pictures and movies.  Over a thousand pics/videoes were deleted.  Anyway...

 Saturday morning and I took the drive up to Mather Airport in Sacramento.  Weekend morning meant an easy 1.5 hour drive from the city.  I got there at the wrong time because I ended up parking very far from the event grounds.  They were directing people in rows from closest to farthest.  They should have done closest cluster then next closest cluster, working their way out to give the earlier arrivals the better parking.  Other people who arrive 2 hours after I did, recieved a shorter walk to their vehicle

I can barely make out the display aircraft and entrance gate from my farflung parking location

626 Night Market

Some friends told me about an event held in Pleasanton. It had its origin in southern California and it was brought to the bay area in 2018. Got in the car for the hourlong ride to the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Arrived a little after 4pm to a dry 95 degrees. The gates opened at 3pm and runs until 11pm. Entry at this time through the metal detectors and ticket gate was very quick. A contrast to much later in the day when I left.
