Fly the ultimate living history experience

Fly the ultimate living history experience

In commemoration of Memorial Day and our deep regard for the American veteran, the Jimmy Doolittle Museum is proud to present Flying History Days at its new Nut Tree Airport location on May 29, 30 and 31 beginning at 9 a.m. until approximately 4 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

In addition to launching the Museum's Center for Patriotism campaign at the Nut Tree, Flying History Days will feature the reassembly of its 1912 Gonzales Bi-plane and the Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom Tour.

The Jimmy Doolittle Museum is the proud owner of one of the first successful airplanes flown in the San Francisco Bay Area. The "Gonzales No. 1" biplane was built by twins Willy and Arthur Gonzales, with help from their brother Eddy Gonzales, during the period from 1910 to 1912. Constructed primarily of pine and small amounts of spruce, it was built in the backyard of their home at 435-16th Avenue in San Francisco.

Davis doubles fines during UC Davis Picnic Day

DAVIS, CA - A case of Coors Lite from the Davis Rite Aid costs $10, but an open bottle out in public this weekend will cost the drink's owner more than $400.

The Davis City Council approved in February a safety zone ordinance, which doubling the fines for open containers of alcohol, public urination and disturbing the general noise during UC Davis's Picnic Day weekend. The minimum fine is $408 or more depending on the courts.

Children and pets were everywhere on campus Saturday morning and afternoon. College students, however, actually said they felt the effects of sobriety at, of all places, the Dachshund dog races.

"The big change was at Dachshund Derby where they were checking bags at the door for alcohol," UC Davis student Greg Emdee said. "It was always a lot more rowdy inside and everyone cheering. It was a huge event."

This year, only the dogs were wound up and people filed in and out of the pavilion in an orderly fashion.
