Mossie, Spit, P40
« on: January 17, 2013, 07:34:08 PM »
A friend sent me this. Taken today in Wellington, New Zealand.

I, naturally, ran outside as soon as I heard them, but left my phone on my desk.

Would have been cooler to see the mossie just open the throttles at the beginning andleave the other 2 in his propwash.

Reminds me of the time a few years ago playing golf on a course near Randolph AFB. I was pretty much at the top of a somehwat hilly course. Had a downhill Par-3.

Standing on the teebox, I saw a slim profile flying what seemed was almost level with me and I dunno, lol... maybe 2-3 miles. (wish I took pix) Then it banked.  A P-38.  Watched it for a while. Made my day.
