1929 Travel Air S6000B in Jan 2010 at KSBP

This old guy flew in from Paso Robles for a xpdr cert. Neat old plane. Had a tile bathroom in the back. Apparently this aircraft has been continually registered since new, never derelict.

Ford Tri Motor in 2002 at KSBP

This was the last flight for NC7501V out of KSBP.  Off to new owner.  If anyone knows it's current whereabouts please post a comment.

Mystery Plane at KSBP

Can anyone help me identify this aircraft?  It was flying around the patch a few weeks ago and don't recognize it.  Open cockpit, low wing, slow flyer.  Any help would be appreciated.  Just add a comment.

Boeing 737 lands at KSBP

On a rainy day in January 2009 a chartered B-737 from Alaska Airlines landed at the San Luis Obispo airport (KSBP).  This was the largest aircraft to date to land at KSBP.  There was a large group of people parked in the airport viewing area to watch this event.  Here is the video  I took that the captain of the aircraft commented on.  (includes radio communications).

Gazelle Helicopter Test Flight

This Gazelle was going on a test flight before apparent sale and delivery.  Did a few approaches and a very nice landing.  Enjoy!  (Anybody know what the ABB on the fuselage means?)

Prop strike

Happened to see this around 5pm today. Looks like the nose gear collapsed after landing. Probably no injuries other than the aircraft. I'm sure it'll be back in the air in no time. KSBP has shops for all needed repairs. It's a Lancair Legacy. Will update if I hear more.

Galloping Ghost

I think this is the best video of Galloping Ghost and this year's Reno Air Races I've seen yet. This video is sans crash and HD. Interesting wobble before final pitch and roll.
