Yesterday was the Hiller Aviation Museum‘s 8th annual Vertical Challenge airshow at San Carlos, Airport.
A very big crowd turned out for the show – but, in spite of all the people, the helicopters were right up close on the flight line, the big military choppers were all open for visiting, and the airshow – especially the Showchoppers and the Red Bull aerobatic helicopter display were really great fun. I took way too many photos – and got way too much sun – a day of extremes, I guess!
