Ken Cartwright Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Great pics, all! I saw the Canadian Skyhawks parachute team at El Centro a few years ago, and they're very impressive. I really like the Tora Tora Tora shots, as well as the C-130 drop shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Enjoyed the pics Ves and looks like it was good show there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djack Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for sharing the pics guys, I hope to return to that show one day again, love that VFA-86 Hornet, and also the Harrier Boss. I still haven't seen a Harrier with the new 'Dark' scheme in persone yet. I was hoping they would stop by El Paso on the way back from this show, I was partially treated to one of them, he must have had technical issues as he was parked there for a couple days, but it was the one with the 'old school' paint, not the new style.
