Something different

[W J Pearce]

No offense, but I think it is time to have a thread about something else; a nice distraction perhaps. At least I could use a thread about something else. Please post away!

Me too. God, aren't they beautiful.

Is that John Paul's bird? Was he there this year? I haven't seen him in ages.

Nice pics, Race 41 is clean as a whistle,

... and La Patrona is... not. At least not at that instant.

Amazing photographs. The clarity and color is striking.

Look at all that oil on the underside of the Tigercat.

Wow. Is it just me, or are those gear doors not terribly flush on Furias?

Great pics!

Re: Something different

Thank you all for the comments and everyone can post any pictures or anything they want. I'll see if I can get distracted on a few more photos soon.

Yes that is one of the Paul's P-40s. They brought the other one as well as their P-51C Boise Bee.

And yes the doors on Furias could use some love, but I'd imagine that is one of the hardest things to get all set.

Re: Something different

W J - what camera and lens are you using? Phenomenal pictures! I am in the market to upgrade from my now ancient Pentax istd. Thank you for posting these superb pictures!

I heard they were having cooling issues with the boil off and are using the gear doors as auxillery cooling scoop.
