We were on our way to Lancaster and Palmdale for a couple of gotta do things. As we came over the 58-14 interchange, I saw the unmistakable silhouette of a Spad. He and what I think were Mustangs were doing low levels over the airport. But he had made a large turn out toward the 58 highway. The only other one I have ever seen is on a pedestal next to the Admin Bldg. at NAS Lemoore. There is another Ventura out there on the circuit. He was a regular at the shows at West Coast Naval Air Stations, Facilities and Air Weapons Centers. He did the Whidbey show just before I retired. As for me, I want the Ryan. It is just too cool as a fun airplane. Note for Kath: I have embellished the name of the Mojave Airport as a humour thing. Mojave is one of the boneyards, a place where airplanes go to die.
