Big Bear Airshow

Post by ssc » Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:41 pm

The weather was perfect for the BB airshow. My son and I met Chris and his wife for breakfast and then off to the airfield. Eric and Braden and company had planned on meeting us at the field after running Holcomb and then a run up GM. We all had good intentions, but sometimes plans need to be modified. :D Eric and Braden got a late start and we finished looking around the show early. So, I had been wanting to visit Burnt Flat, which is the end of 3n02. I use to hunt and even camp there. To say the road has been maintained, would be an understatement. I think the old hornet sportabout could have made it down the trail. Anyway, they have a new gate and have blocked off some of the old roads around the spring, but it was good to visit the old place.

We took a walk around the area and the spring was still flowing. Some of the old apple trees were still alive. We thought about doing the intro to Bull, but made a detour to the discovery center. I gave the Icon suspension a good workout with a bit of a speed run. We then met up with Eric and Braden and his crew, then went to lunch and told lies. We then aired up and my bottle went dry. I hate it when my bottle is empty---and when I run out of CO2 8-) . I didn't take many pictures, but will post a few.

Cheers, Steve

It was not as planned, but a good day non the less. It was good to finally meet some of you, and I look forward to the next run

We had a helicopter up there for the air show. Wish I could have gone.
