Tehachapi Air Show

We saw a notice in the Tehachapi paper that they were going to have an Air and Military vehicle show for the World War 2 era. We had a great time and could not believe the attention the Duce and Cannon got.
The show was very small with only 4 or 5 airplanes, 4 jeeps and us.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time and the weather was great.

ODD meeting tonight

Thursday September 26th
( I know there is a way to insert this in the right date place, but don't know how. Found this in preview)

Tonight is John's Olive Drab Drivers (ODD)  meeting. He has his Duce truck stored up at his place so we went up to pick it up for tonight. He decided to tow the cannon.... here he is hooking up.

8" round on display

The first week-end of September we were in San Diego for the Reunion of the 

USMC

3rd 8 inch Howitzer Battery

This reunion was held at the Crowne Plaza in San Diego, CA.  I'm not sure of the total number of  people, but the turn out was good. It was good to renew friendships we made from the last years gathering.

Last year we went to a Boot Camp Graduation at the base.

This year they had  arranged a tour of Camp Pendleton  that included a display of some of their equipment. They got an up-close inspection and good question and answer session.  

Cheryl set up a Tea and Lunch at the Coral Tree Tea House in Old Town San Diego.  Eight of us went and are all looking forward to going again next year.

The highlight of the trip was when John brought in his 8" round for display in the hospitality suite. We brought a pen for all the veterans to sign the round.

John has the round on display in his front room.
