SALUTE TO THE CALIFORNIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD 1988

2010  THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES

Among the several valuable things that Mark and Marlene Davis contributed to the Archives of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley this week was a program for the Van Nuys Aviation Expo of 1988 - "A Salute to the Guard." (click on this image to enlarge)

 

It will take time to examine the program fully, to glean and cross reference the information contained in just this one program. Why?  First, because it contains a great little history of the airport and its chronology, and more with the names of key personnel, kinds of aircraft etc. And, tucked away in the back of the program was a xeroxed 1988 map of the Air Port.

 1988 Wing Commander, Tandy K. Bozeman.
