Growler

Yesterday a “Top Gun” timely visitor at the Palm Springs Air Museum. A Navy EA-18G Growler. This is the electronic warfare version of the F/A-18F Super Hornet. I must say it was very cool marshaling it in, doing the start-up for departure, and marshaling it out.

Just Me

Guardians USMC

So this time I wrestled a King Air from USMC Guardians HQ&HQ Squadron – Yuma into submission. At the Palm Springs Air Museum for a visit.

Running The New Stearman Engine

The Stearman at the Palm Springs Air Museum got a new engine. This was it’s first 30 minute run the other day. This airplane had belonged to Barron Hilton, son of Conrad Hilton the creator of Hilton Hotels. He was a very accomplished pilot and supporter of the world of aviation. We have always wondered if his granddaughter Paris Hilton ever flew in this airplane with him.
