Great site AKsneaky :D

A few "keepers" in there. This is my favorite shot there. Eliminated the airshow background and resized it to 800 wide.

It's a animal :D

Here's a 51 shot that's different. One of my favorites because it's not the same ol' same' ol' shot.

Once you dive in lookin for photo's you can lose an afternoon before you know it :)

I found the Pony and this Phantom shot on the same day...long day.  Struck gold though :D

Then you have another afternoon working them, sizing, saturating etc :D

I really enjoy it. Octavius search around, ( photo storage ) I found this current space doing just that. It's free and links to original jpg's without a size restriction so the quality stays the same. Found it last weekend :)

Great place to be for BLOO Plane fans !

#11LF  is hangered about 200 yrds from my hanger along with a skyraider, an F85 ( I belive this is correct :The straight winged sabre) as well as  two other Navy turbo props that I cant name.  Look sorta like skyraiders but have twin counter rotating props.  Would love to find out what they are?

I dunno what the contraprops are but the straight winged Sabre like plane is probably the FJ Fury.
