Thanks for sharing all these old airshow videos! My father, brother, and I made the trip from Phoenix to Madera for the '86 show and the video brings back some great memories. I was only 14 at the time and just starting to get really interested in warbirds. We had just discovered Chino the previous year (1985) and when I came across an advert for Madera in Air Classics I convinced my dad that we should give it a try too. Chino became our "go to" event every year and we never made it back to Madera but it was certainly a great show in '86. Lots of familiar planes and faces, many of which are gone now unfortunately. Ah well enough rambling, thanks again for the trip down memory lane.
Think I saw this airshow 3 4 times before they went to Hamilton and dad was a photographer 4 kcra chl 13 out of sacto had lots of fun flying with and taken air to air with these and others lol
This is great! I never had a video of my brother Fred in the P-40. I wish I had one of him racing that Green mustang that John Marlin is taxiing here, or John Paul's P-40.
