Memorial Day is a time to remember those who paid the highest price in service to our country. It is always an honor to be part of these flyovers. This year, there were passes over Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. We were also slated to fly over Solvang, but the cloud ceilings were too low. For this flight, the lead was flown by Michael Maloco. Terry Norbraten, Marc Russell and Ron Alldredge flew in the 2, 3 and 4 slots. I flew in the back of Ron's airplane for to get photos. These are all T-34 Mentors. These guys are all great pilots and I thank them for a safe flight.
