I was at Miramar on Saturday- There was some GA (got to see a Grumman
Widgeon for the first time!) and a few warbirds, about 15 or 20 depending on
your description of a warbird. Three L-29 Delfins and an L-39 Albatros were
there, along with a matched pair of ex-Swiss Hunters. At least one Yak-52
made it, along with a B-25 in beautiful shape. For me the highlight of the
displays was the lineup of really cool commander's birds from each of the
squadrons on base- the Marines are going all out for cool paint jobs. Only
regret was not putting sunscreen on all the necessary spots and having a
v-shaped sunburn on my chest!
