@ Paso Robles, CA
August 2022
My SoCal road trips during airshow season conveniently have some aviation museums along the way. Paso Robles is the home to a very nice collection of warbirds, especially combat jets, at the Estrella Warbird Museum. Here is a tired and faded SAAB Lansen attack aircraft. Apparently in the late 1980’s, the Swedish Air Force was desperate to obtain a Spitfire for their collection and sold off five surplus aircraft (which included two Lansens) to raise the funds. The Museum acquired one of the Lansens in September 2009.
