Moffett Federal Field Airshow (California, USA)

Moffett Federal Field airshow

The recent Moffett Airshow being held for the past several years is not so appealing to me.
Unfortunately I have missed all the fun NAS Moffett airshow had more than 10 years ago.
Although some NASA aircraft are very interesting, the overall airshow is slow but very crowded with spectators from Silicon Valley.
If you visit this area, you should see the NASA museum and gift shop in the Moffett field as it is much more interesting than the airshow.

	Civilian version of C-141 Starlifter is this L300-50A-01 (N714NA) "Gerald P Kuiper Airborne Observatory" of NASA AMES Research center.
	U-2ER (80-1063 / 706) of NASA.
	One of the two SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) is the N905NA modified from ex-American Airlines B747. A tour was given to see what's inside (well, there is nothing inside except additional structure and few instruments)
	Landmark of Moffett Airfield is this huge blimp hanger in the background. B-17 is a Nine-O-Nine of Collings Foundation taking off for a flight. (Note this photo is not from an airshow)
