Hi all, I had a fun time today at the airshow. They do this every few years at my local airport, I think they should do it annually. Anyway, here's the first part of the pics that I took today.

...
This was the first thing I saw when I walked in the gate, so I took a picture of it. I think it's a Piper Pawnee, spray planes all look alike to me, but they are fascinating none the less.

...
I'm not sure what this is, it looks like an E-2 without the giant radar antenna. A C-2?

...
A close-up of that 9 bladed prop. I just thought it was cool.

...
A P-40! I love the look and the lines of the P-40. This was the best I could do for a picture, people were flocking all around it most if the time.

...
I tried to get a little arty with this one. It's a B-25, but I focused on the engine and prop. If that guy weren't sitting there it would be pretty good.

I hope you liked them, there's another set of static shots to come and then something special for the areal displays. Wink

Great shots!  That's a C-2A Greyhound.  I've never saw one in person, nice catch!

Beat me to it Justin.  Grin
Which reminds me, I need to see if I can find one for FSX to replace my FS9 model.

Nice shots, BTW.  Smiley

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
