Today, Friday, is arrivals day. It was high overcast and cold, but there was enough visibility for planes to land... and there are some good planes there already. Planes we were excited about... first of all... the rare Boeing 40C. As far as we know, that is the only flyable one in the world. Also look for a 1930 Laird "commercial" LC-1B300, a 1929 Travelair 4000 and an Antonov An 2 There are biplane rides in a New Standard and a Travelair 4000. If you're in California, think about making it to Watsonville Fly-in! Permalink -- click for full blog post "It's Watsonville Weekend!"
