T-6 and PT-19The Southern California wing of the Commemorative Air Force will be offering rides on two of their vintage warbirds — a T-6 military trainer for $300 and a PT-19 — for $100. The T-6 was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft designed by North American Aviation, used to train fighter pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II. The Fairchild PT-19 was a USA Fairchild Aircraft monoplane primary trainer aircraft that served with the United States Army Air Forces, RAF and RCAF during World War II. It was a contemporary of the Kaydet biplane trainer and was used by the USAAF during Primary Flying Training as the introductory pre-solo phase trainer for introducing new pilots to flying before passing them on to the more agile Kaydet. Zeppelin Airship “Eureka”Experience the spectacular surf and scenery and see the show from the serene comfort of the one-of-a-kind Zeppelin “Eureka”. Weather-permitting, “Eureka” will offer 30-minute passenger flights for the special price of $199 during the show at Half Moon Bay Airport. Flying at 1000 feet above the ground and cruising at a stately 35 miles per hour, the view from the airship is memorable and unique. Passengers can walk around, open the windows, talk to the pilots and share their discoveries with each other about the world beneath them. A full schedule and details on pricing can be found on the Airship Ventures website at www.airshipventures.com.
