I was just going to post this but Tony beat me to it. Oh well, the early bird gets the worm (but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese...)

It was definitely shot on opening Monday. You can see the stage on the west ramp for the concert. Also look at the parking rows- almost no holes in the rows, meaning no one is leaving yet. It can't be 3:00PM, there is too much ground activity to be during the airshow. Plus the crowds on the flightline are pretty sparse. I notice that both of Van's demo planes and Arnie Z's Breezy are both in their parking spots, and demos and Breezy rides shut down around 1PM, so I'd put this in the 1-2PM range.

Daryl K. gets the worm on this one, I got the cheese. I was too busy spying on backyards looking for skinny dippers.

what's the story on the Bonanza(?) on the grass between the taxiway and 36? Looks like an RV is taxiing past him.

I found where I parked N421RT

And I also found Dave & Pat Eby's van parked behind the forums, where we were sitting and eating sandwiches there under the big cedar tree right about the same time this photo was taken I also guestimate this photo to be taken between 1-2PM since I can see our folding chars and possibly the group of folks I was with under that big tree.

He's on "the ditch", the grass taxiway we use for northbound traffic when Papa is one-way southbound.

He is probably lost, landed at the wrong airport and is taxiing over to the BP station to ask for directions. I'm not trying to start anything, but I'm pretty sure that's what is going on

That is really cool. I wonder if this was planned by google?
I found my plane right at the end of forum 4.
