Nice pictures you found, I especially like #2 because it has such a nice picture of Spitfire RGV "Gray Nurse"

Amazing shots. I love to see the older warbirds at airshows.

Present day military jets are fine and dandy, but noting is as in your face as the brute force that was a WWII era fighter

Actually Mark, most of those are at Duxford. The formation shots are the Superb OFMC Breitling Fighters, and the B-17 is good old "Sally B" with TFC's P-47 as escort.
The Grey Nurse MkVIII is Australia's only current Airworthy Spit.

I love the Breitling fighters. They put on a great display and it sounds glorious with all those engines. At Duxford they did a formation pass at about 10ft off the ground Shocked I was very impressed.

I think at least shot #2 is in Australia or New Zealand. The scenery in shot #1 doesn't look like the UK.

PS. All excellent photos wherever they were taken.

My guess for shot #1 is Switzerland, with mountains that steep in the background. Flypast ran an article about one of their show appearances there last year. #2 Definately is in Oz

Nice to see the blue nosed Mustang (Robs Lamplough's) with Sally B too....

GrinJust noticed . . . I never knew that Spitfires, mustangs and other war planes are considered airliners . . .

But on the other hand, it does fly, it can move a person from place to place, and I'm sure you can find some place for baggage. (for a small bag of fruits at least), so, I'd say it's considered an airliner !!! Grin Wink

Well technically, I would class them as 'cargo,' but just a little more lethal kind... Grin

This also occurred to me. I would never have thought of looking for warbirds on airliners.net. Just as well somebody did. Smiley
