The Camarillo wing was a pretty active one, with something in the air nearly every weekend. They had one of the last Zeros flying, a naval version with folding wingtips, a C-46 Commando, "China Doll", a Bearcat, and several AT-6 trainers which were often in the air. There were several planes under restoration, including a B-25, and some others on static display temporarily awaitng major engine work.

The photos are from one of my days there. Also, there are some snapshots of B-17 and B-24 which visited the airfield in 2004. As a scale modeler, I tend to take many shots of details like air scoops and exhaust pipes and the like. I have tried to limit the number of photos like that on this page. There are some photos of a DeHavilland Vampire here.

The airport also had two Super Constellations parked at the end of the runway. Both were flying, but rarely. One was a military version used to train radar operators and was pretty much original. The other was a civilian version, which had been converted to private use. This second one was sold to a Swiss consortium in 2004 and flown to Europe where it will be reconditioned and used for private excursions by a group of European Constellation enthusiasts.
