I agree with all the sentiments that have already been expressed.

I am fortunate to live near Livermore Muni Airport (KLVK) and even more 
so because I currently keep the race car (Formula Atlantic) out there.  
Across the way is a P-40, up the row 5 stalls is an AT-6, behind on the 
next row is the P-51 Kimberley Kaye and a couple of rows over is 
Merlin's Magic.

Apparently, for reasons of Geography, Livermore is close enough to the 
Bay Area for the folks that can afford that kind of bird and just 
outside the highly controlled airspace that makes it so difficult to fly 
anything around here.  There are some where near 20 flying Warbirds and 
maybe another 10 to 15 in various states of disrepair.  According to the 
Museum People down at Chino, Livermore has the second highest 
concentration of flying WWII aircraft in California.  Second only to Chino.

Most of the Spring and Summer I am known to have the 600mm Novoflex 
mounted on the OM2s in hopes of catching a shot like Philip Makanna.  
Unfortunately you basically have to be in formation to get those shots 
but the sound is still worth it.

It is a great place for Plane Spotting if you are near our backyard,
