All Red Star West II 2003

Held from May 7-11th 2003, I attended this event on May 10th which was open to the public at Castle Airport in Atwater, CA. The purpose of this gathering was to learn formation flying and safe operations of the aircraft. This has got to be the brightest aviation event that I've ever attended, the various paint schemes were absolutely incredible. Approximately some 55 aircraft showed up for this event, thus I had a hard time deciding which pictures to post. On my visit, I counted 20 CJ-6A's and 11 Yak-52's as the most numerous type. Only one plane, an L-39 was wearing it's original paint, thus it was the easiest to drop. In the long run, I eneded up adding an extra 3 pictures to this page. All photographs have captions underneath the pictures. Roger D. Cain (NC 148).
