Oshkosh T-33/P-38 air-to-air

[T33driver]

With permission from outstanding aviation photographer Scott Slocum, I'm posting a few shots he took from a Saturday morning photo shoot with the Red Knight T-33, P-38s Ruff Stuff and Glacier Girl and yours truly. This is one for the highlight films, a spiritual experience. Thanks to Steve Hinton, Scott Slocum and the Ruff Stuff crew for letting the jets tag along on the photo shoot.

Very cool pictures Paul! Must have been a great experience.

Wonderful photographs! Thanks so much for posting. Will these be appearing in a magazine any time soon? Can't wait to see the full-sized prints if they are. Must have been a magical experience.

Cheers,

That looks like it was a great flight.

Who was the lucky person who got to ride along in back with you Paul?

Entirely too cool, Paul. I bet your cheeks hurt from all the grinning.

Many thanks for sharing.

My friend Cindy Rousseau was in the back seat. She owns the "Women Fly" t-shirt company along with her husband George. They shared a booth with "Lost Squadron" t-shirts in one of the exhibit halls. Don't know if Scott Slocum plans to publish these pics anywhere. Cindy and I agreed it was the ultimate magical, spiritual aviation experience to see a P-38 five feet off each wing.

That's great, I hadn't really considered the family resemblance between the Lightning and Shooting star, very cool.

Paul - OUTSTANDING air-to air shots. Thanks to Scott Slocum and you for sharing with us. Beautiful sight.

Really amazing site to see the two Canadair built T-birds in formation and both sporting paint schemes commemorating their Canadian lineage as well.

Very very cooooool!

I'm figuring on four Canadian built and marked T-33s at Oshkosh next year, enough for a four-ship!

Those photos are the greatest. You could do a calender with just those shots.
Now which one will be your new avatar?
