What is a great car show?-How about Antique Airplanes alongside the Cars!!

We went to an Invite only car show today put on by Antique Aero (They restore and fly antique airplanes). It is held in Paso Robles at the airport between several hangers. There are no spectators, so its relaxing. There was a Aerobatic competion going on up in the sky with antique planes doing flips etc. The original "Worlds Fastest Indian" was there and they started it along with a drag car. They have a collection of motors and a great collection of rare airplanes that you can get right up to. There were about 80 cars.

Vintage planes and hot rods!! What could be better than that? Thanks for the pics!

 

just like home

 

no spectators ? nice pics .like the Indian

 

Its held at a private hanger and invite only, so its just the car guys there, plus they do a nice BBQ. The Indian sounded great!!

 

Great stuff! Thanks for posting!

 

Really diggin' the Stearman with the British markings! Antique cars, antique airplanes, and BBQ? Just add free beer and naked women and I think you'd have heaven!

 

They did have free beer... No naked women though... I will post a bunch of vintage plane pics later...

 

Sounds like my idea of a great day.

 

Perfect Combo! Thanks for sharing!!

 

A car/ airplane show would be awesome! I would have taken so many pictures if I was there! It would be neat to see a '41 Boeing next to a '41 Willys, and so on. I am thankful I don't use film anymore- I would use so much and not know if it would come out like I had envisioned.

Way cool! Thanks for the pics!

 

What a great looking event, cool planes and hot rods are just right together.

 

Very cool, I would have spent all day looking at the planes and forgot the cars!

 

Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talkin about...

 

Nice Shots-Nice Gathering-Thanks

 

Can any of ya venture a guess as to what type aircraft the red and white one in the picture is? HINT: It is NOT an "early or prototype" Spartan Executive. DD

 

Cant remember what type the Red/White was but I do know its the only one of its type that is still flying. The women that owns it also owns the yellow one and a couple others there. Last year got inside of the Big Blue one at the end.

 

For sure, you're right... it is a rare bird. It's a Fairchild Model 45, or F-45. Thank you much for posting the pictures. DD

 

Anyone on the H.A.M.B?

 

That one is mine (The Roadster, not the bad@ss Warbird)

 

Bitch'n. Thanks for posting.

 

hard to beat old planes and cars
