The Livermore Flying Electrons are pleased to again host their annual
warbird event, Warbirds Over Livermore 2015. The event will be held on
Saturday, August 22nd. It's hard to believe, but this will be the
fifth year for this event. As always, all types and sizes of military
aircraft are welcome, including fixed wing, helicopters, gas, glow,
turbines and electric. Current AMA membership is required. We try
to make this a fun event for everyone, and it has been great for
solidifying the positive relationship between the club and its
neighbors.
Awards for Best WWI, Best WWII & Pilots Choice
No landing fee and free BBQ lunch for pilots! Just come out and have fun flying warbirds!
The address of the club is 4455 Raymond Road in Livermore, California 94550
Some pictures from last year are attached.

As a reminder, this event is coming up in two weekends. It's hard to
believe this is the fifth year of the event and we are all looking
forward to it.
As in prior years, we will have a PA system with background music and
sound effects, and we will also have an "open mic" available all day for
pilots to talk about their airplanes. We've had many visitors tell us
that they really enjoyed the "open mic" so that they could learn about
the aircraft being flown.
My wife Andrea will be taking some of the other pilot's wives and
significant others into downtown Livermore for breakfast/brunch and wine
tasting. Livermore has a quaint downtown area and over 50 wineries, so
this should be very enjoyable.
The event is completely free for everyone and we will have a free BBQ
lunch and a special free pilots raffle with wine and other goodies.
Military aircraft of all sizes and types and pilots of all skill levels
are welcome and there will be plenty of people to help out, so come out
and join us for a fun day of flying warbirds and camaraderie.
The address of the field is 4455 Raymond Road in Livermore, California 94550
My mobile number is 925.518.0674 and my email address is: gonewest1@comcast.net
There is also more information available at our club's website: www.lferc.com

I have received a few inquiries for directions to the field. Using the
field address of 4455 Raymond Road in Livermore, California 94550 will
work on all of the map programs that I have tried.

Larry, we look forward to seeing you.
The weather forecast looks very good with temperatures expected to be in
the 80s, low humidity and wind down the runway. It should be a nice
day.

The club’s annual warbird event, Warbirds Over Livermore 2015, was held last Saturday, August 22nd and it was a complete success! This was the 5th
anniversary of the event and it was the best one ever, with great
weather, 35 registered pilots and 50 aircraft. There was a lot of fun
flying, including four 1/5 scale Spitfires flying at once, several
successful maidens and a few unfortunate mishaps. Many of the guest
pilots and visitors really enjoyed themselves and complimented our club
and its friendly and supportive members. We have a nice flying
facility, but it’s the great members that make our club.
Photos of the event are now available on the club’s Website.
Go to www.lferc.com and select “Photo Gallery” from the main menu. Here are a few samples:

That's the Kawasaki ki-61, with its very sleek design. I recall that it was the only Japanese fighter with a liquid cooled engine.
