Today Natalie and I, along with Will Strohl and Kim Rausch (and kids), went to the Travis AFB Air Show, the weather was great, if a little windy. As we were walking around after the Thunderbirds show, taking photos and getting ready to leave I came across this spot on the tarmac

B-1 Bomber/Retirement Location

As we walked by that painted pavement I realized I had been there before.

That was where my dad retired after 30 years in the United States Air Force.

The latter two photos were taken with my first digital camera in March of 1998.

I’m a proud son!

If you’re going to the Travis AFB Skies over Solano County this weekend, good luck finding a schedule! Actually, good luck of finding much of anything.

The website for the show appears to be https://www.travisairexpo.com/ but it hardly has anything useful on there. The only thing that is of any use is the do’s and don’ts section of the FAQ.

I’m hoping to get out there on Saturday to see the Thunderbirds, but there is no telling when they will actually perform. I assume later in the afternoon, hopefully that assumption isn’t wrong!

Maybe next year the folks running the show will setup a DotNetNuke based website, hell I’ll even help them out, so they can see how easy it is to setup and maintain content with the best open source content management system.

UPDATE: Finally I found some info, looks like they will close the show around 3pm! https://www.dailydemocrat.com/ci_18574402?source=most_viewed
