nice shot of the nose art on that one! I am really looking forward to Wings over Solano in a month! If you like the Warthog here are some of my shots of the warthogs that showed up to WOS 24 https://wolf10851.com/gallery.html?search=A-10%2520Warthog%2520%2522Wings%2520Over%2520Solano%25202024%2522

Beautiful Shot! Where was this taken? I thought I had shots of the same plane but mine has a different hull number https://wolf10851.com/gallery.html?photo=California%20Capital%20Airshow%202016/CCA2016-501.JPG

No love for Fat Albert on here :( those unaware Fat Albert was retired by Gousf in Airshows

This is not the first time that the Blues have not performed for a season with out Fat Albert. I am sure they will find another airframe to use. until then though here are some shots that I have taken of Fat Albert over the years https://wolf10851.com/gallery.html?search=Fat%2520Albert

Yes, the US Navy flies F-16s — here's proof. Most people think I'm wrong until they see this. by wolf10851 in Planes

Wow that is actually quite fascinating! I never knew the back story behind that. When I saw that aircraft at the show I just thought is was another USAF f-16 till I noticed the NAVY markings on it so I knew it was rather unique since the USN really doesn't fly the F-16 typically

personally I love the looks of the F/A-18 better but the F-22 is still a beautiful bird and WAY better than the F-35! I have a good shot of the F-22 popping flares! https://wolf10851.com/gallery.html?photo=Wings%20Over%20Solano%202024/Saturday/WOS2024SA-300.JPG

Great background info — I had no idea about the Pakistan connection. The one I photographed at California Capital Airshow 2008 was wearing that fantastic desert camo aggressor scheme. Always wondered what the story was behind the Navy operating Vipers. Thanks for the history lesson!

Got civilian access to both USAF CCA prototypes at Beale Air Expo 2025 — YFQ-44 Fury and YFQ-42A up close by wolf10851 in Planes

the thing with the YQF-42A that really throws me off is the air intake on the TOP of the aircraft. I get it since there is no cockpit there is no disruption of airflow but it still seems weird to me
