Very cool photoshoot. Nice light and Scott is a great person. Met him for the first time at Geneseo a few weeks ago.

Thanks Peter!

Mudge, I know you're just funnin' but I'm quite aware of your little P-38 obsession. I had a little infatuation with that airplane and now it's worse! Somethin' 'bout that machine....

Jack, glad you made it home in one piece and with a clean record. Get you tushy to Oshkosh next year!!! 8)

Actually the "family resemblance" is to the Bell P-39/63/59 series.

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



"Bell Aircraft started work on a follow-up jet fighter, the XP-59B (confusingly similar program name to the P-59B). The XP-59B was to be a single engine airplane that was sleek and aerodynamic with the engine enclosed inside of the fuselage. Bell was not able to continue this work, so the XP-59B was transferred to the Lockheed Skunk Works headed by Kelly Johnson (of U-2/SR-71 fame). The airplane that emerged was called the XP-80, and it was a winner. The P-80 Shooting Star project produced a fighter that served on the front line until early in the Korean War, and the T-33 trainer version was produced in large numbers and is still in active service today some 50 years later.

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,
Richard


Richard,

Tony Harmsworth from Aeroplane Monthly sent an email query, got permission from the photograher and indicated they plan to publish one of these photos in an upcoming issue.

Props or Not, what a classic set of air to air photos.....Award Winners. If not considered for publication then there are some editors that need to have their eye's examined !!
