Thunder over the Valley Airshow 2010

AUGUST 29, 2010 - SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA - 56 IMAGES (CANON 1D MARK III)

The Thunder over the Valley Airshow in Santa Maria has gone through a lot over the years, struggling with various hurdles but always managing to put on a pretty good airshow. This year a mix of no-shows, new rules, and very high winds grounded a lot of aircraft of limited the performances to just a quick fly-by while departing. Thankfully, early WW2 aircraft filled in the gaps giving some great fly-bys.
