Manteca Memorial Flyover, May 29th

The Stockton Field Aviation Museum's PV-2D as well as our own Twin Beech D-18S were asked to fly over the local Memorial Day parade, so of course we couldn't say no! And as the topping on the already wonderful cake, WWII Veteran Pat Patteson flew the PV-2D, as he had flown other PV's in WWII. Thank you for your service, Pat!

The Stockton Field Aviation Museum's PV-2D Harpoon starts off the Air Show season by attending the Travis AFB's bi-annual air show, as a static display aircraft. WWII Veteran Pat Patteson once again graces the cockpit for the flight to and from the show, and was even given a challenge coin from the the Base Commander during the air show performer's dinner that night. Go Pat! He even flew the Twin Beech back home with one of our pilots, Robin Gearey.
