Flying Legends 2015

[Lightjug]

Thought the WIX faithful would like to see some Flying Legends pictures.

Duxford is renovating the American Air Museum so their B-29 was pushed out front and centre.


The rest of the aircraft are scattered about the museum. I found the P-47 sandwiched in between the F-15 and the A-10 in Conservation Hanger 5.


Out on the flightline, they had the newly arrived P-36 front and centre with the P-40 that arrived last year.




Four Mustangs this year including the newest (to me) P-51-D.


The star attraction – in my humble opinion – Red 7.


Another main attraction – Aircraft Restoration Company's Blenheim.


There were 14... count em... 14 Spitfires on the flight line. OK don’t count em but trust me there were 14 Spitfires... how cool is that?


Including this beautiful Seafire.


And this Mk. XIX


A couple of Corsairs...


... a Wildcat and Avenger...


... and two Sea Furys (Furies?) rounded out the naval contingent.


Red Bull returned with their very shiny warbirds.


Another newcomer, least for me.

Heck, he's probably just getting warmed up! From what I've seen elsewhere that's probably only half of what was in attendance. Keep 'em coming Lightjug, and thanks.

Chad, thank you as well. I have a few more and some video... the latter will take some time to edit and post.

Another main attraction – TFC’s Blenheim.

It's ARC's, not TFC's.

Great pictures! Good to see old "Rough House 69" still doin' her thang...Any body in WIX-Land tell me which of the aircraft in the pictures used to carry that name?

My mistake, thank you for bringing that to my attention - edited to read Aircraft Restoration Company, not TFC.
