My favorite airplane on display was called Big Panda Monium!
I'd never seen a Panda bear with a machine gun. I tend to think of Pandas as peaceful bears.
There were helicopters and airplanes taking off and landing all the time.

Can you believe jet fuel prices these days?!
Inside the airport, there was a small display about The Sunkist Lady, an airplane from Fullerton that set an aviation record in the 1940s. This was a very big deal at the time.
