Mustangs anyone?

A most impressive display of precision formation aerobatics. Flown by two members of the USAF 'Heritage Flight' - for once in similar aircraft types. These chaps were stuck together like glue. Fantastic. Shocked

At last I get to see a P-39 in the air.

And here's the mighty Jug.

Most impressive photos Doug, I still haven't seen the 39 flying, I've read the articles, seen her in the workshop Sad

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The P-39 again! love it!

Speaking of mustangs, I almost went to a fly-in (just a little to far to drive) featuring 2 mustangs flying in formation and such. Well, one of them suffered an engine failure during take-off and crashed Sad

Luckily the pilot wasn't injured, and the picture I saw of the plane didn't look too bad, so maybe it can be re-restored.

Nice shots Doug! Wish I could have been there. You could get used to Leg ends - almost every year they have pilots over from the US for part of the display - this isn't the first occasion that they've had the formation Mustang duo. Last time I saw them I thought I was looking at an F-82!!! Wink

I've been thinking for a while what they do to the Merlins in the Mustangs because they definately sound alot louder and sharper than the warm growl of merlin Spits.

Sounds like the're shredding the air lol. I love that sound.

Those formation shots came out well Doug congrats I also think the first P-47 shot is very good.

I have one or two but you know how it is. I always mess up the ones I really want. What we call Sod's Law. Roll Eyes

Don't tell Ozzy but I rather like them myself. Wink

PS. Since you asked so nicely I can hardly refuse. I'll post some of the naval types including the Tigercat later, maybe tomorrow.
