              The Northern California Chapter
                          of the
               Antique Airplane Association

                         Presents:

                      The 28th Annual
                    Fly-in and Airshow

The Northern California Antique Airplane Association will be
holding  its  28th annual Fly-in and Airshow at Watsonville,
California on Memorial Day weekend (May 22 to 24, 1992).

There will be static and flying displays of  antique,  clas-
sic,  neoclassic,  and  Golden  Age aircraft, War Birds, and
homebuilts.  All  airplanes  --  pre-1956  and  experimental
class  -- can be registered whether you wish to be judged or
not.  Trophies will be awarded in many categories.  There is
no charge for registering display aircraft.

There will be a Friday night spaghetti feed on the field,  a
Saturday night dinner followed by a Peanut Scale (bring your
13" span, rubber powered) model  airplane  contest  and  the
disclosure of the Fly-in Queen for 1992 followed by a dance.
On Sunday there will be an awards  ceremony  on  the  field.
Then  around  6:30-7:00-ish  that  evening,  there will be a
let-it-all-hang-out, no host affair in  which  all  partici-
pants  and anyone left on te field as well as all volunteers
will break bread and bend elbows at a local restaurant.

Because of space limitations, production  aircraft  manufac-
tured  after 1956 can not be displayed.  However, there will
be adequate parking space for non-display aircraft.

If you're flying in, aircraft inbound to Watsonville Airport,
contact  Oakland FSS on 122.5 or Salinas FSS on 122.6.  Wat-
sonville temporary  tower  frequency  is  126.4   Watch  for
