This was the first time I've been to our local Fly-in. It seems to be 
gaining popularity. Sure was much more enjoyable than some of the nearby 
big time airshows like Abbotsford.

and much enjoyable socializing...which is why I didn't get much info 
about the planes :)  There are some serious collectors here which helps 
draw out of proportion to our small population. We are also a popular 
fly in for lunch or dinner destination. And there is the commuter set 
since it is faster to commute by air to the Puget Sound region and 
farther (Deer Valley, UT) than to commute by auto from the burbs. Plus, 
a local rain shadow ensures clear skies when the rest of the area is 
cloudy. Note clouds on the periphery.

Jim, As far as the Nanchang/Yak there seemed to be several similar 
planes hence the duplication. e.g.:
