WWII Airshow Pictures
« on: July 05, 2011, 01:14:12 AM »
This is how lazy I am, the airshow was over a month ago. Either way, I know there are several who love looking at the planes (and who can blame em, just look at em!).
I'm not using the normal Photo hosting site to keep quality and resolution, but the site is trustworthy so don't worry about the different URL when viewing.
Be sure to click the image for a Full Size Image

Was my first extensive use of the old Canon T-50 SLR, and these are some of the results (far too many to post them all):


A plane which needs no introduction:





P-47:





B-25:





C-47:



F4U:



D3A:





Spitfire cockpit:



B-29:






Unfortunately almost all my In-Flight Pictures were on the roll that didn't develop properly, so I don't have any B-29 In-flight photos. I have 3 P-51, 1 B-17, and several smaller plane In-Flight Photos though.
Hope ya like em

Great pics. Looks like you got bits of an SB2C, TBM and B-17 in there, as well.

D3A looks like one of the T-6 conversions from Tora! Tora! Tora!

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
