• Wings Over Solano returns this weekend (timesheraldonline.com) — Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield will host the free Wings Over Solano Air Show this Saturday and Sunday, featuring the Air Force Thunderbirds and extensive aircraft displays. Expect heavy traffic, strict ID checks at the Hospital Gate entrance, and long security lines, so organizers strongly urge early arrival and careful planning. 
• [VIDEO] CHP Clocks a Speeding C5 Corvette Driver at 148 MPH - Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle (corvetteblogger.com) — A driver in a C5 Corvette was clocked at a staggering 148 mph on Interstate 80 in Fairfield, weaving through steady afternoon traffic before being pulled over by CHP. The stop left the motorist facing points on their license, steep fines, possible suspension, and higher insurance. Officers are using the incident to warn Fairfield-area drivers that I-80 is no place for racing.
