The Cap on the Son's Great Weekend
No, he didn’t go antique store hopping, in search of collectable treasures nor did he attend a militaria show, swap meet or go garage sale digging. What he did do is attended an Air Show, down in San Diego, CA assisting the CAF wing he is a member of, and he was able to bum an little airplane ride back home.
Here are a few photos he took from the back seat of the Harvard II (North American T-6 Texan), from pre-flight until just before landing. The D-Day invasion painted plane, out the window, is the CAF wings C-53 which did participated on D-Day.
