Planes of Fame, Chino. There is a monthly talk, this one about the SBD Dauntless dive bomber.

The dive brakes kept the Dauntless from going too fast in a dive. A wishbone-type bomb rack moved the bomb far enough away from the fuselage to clear the propeller.

The rear gunner needed both hands to fire the gun. However, one hand is required to move the gun from one side of a stop to the other at the in-line position, thereby preventing the gunner from shooting off the tail.

This staff sergeant flew a Dauntless in the Pacific after Pearl Harbor.

Some other aircraft were pulled out into the open.

The only flyable NM9B.

Kaydet.

Hiller Raven H-23.

MiG-21.

Viking.

Some re-enactors.

What do you mean "hold this"?

Artifacts.

Irvine Lake 5k mud run.

Count down host.

You never know where the deep part will be.

Anyone posing for me thought I was an event photographer.

There were some blind participants.

Sideline fun.

Snacks.

Wheel of fortune.

Just looking'.

Kids ran a shorter course. The girls seem to be leaving early while the boys count down...

Pasadena chalk festival, day 2.

Supposed to be a car show here, too, but it turned out to be a police heli demo.

I went a week early to the chalk festival based on the date on the flyer I had printed out months earlier. It pays to double-check...

The only shot from the day.
