Wow, awesome Mike, great pictures! I just love seeing those authentic headrests on the Mustangs. That just makes it look so realistic!

Thanks for sharing those, Mike. Beautiful shots and, importantly, some beautiful airplanes.

Can never have enough photos like this (although it would sure be more fun for us to be able to participate, but pics are the next best thing)!

Terrific shots Mike!
Some of them look like those famous color shots of the four Mustangs over England taken during the war!

Sweet Jesus, those are abso-friggin-lutely gorgeous.

These may be the best air-to-air restored Mustang photos I have ever seen- the quality is due partly to your skill with the camera, and partly to the authenticity in those restorations.

You have my admiration and envy, sir. :)

Fantastic pictures!

I was really hoping to see Happy Jacks at Oshkosh this year but I guess it was not meant to be. Hopefully I'll be able to see it around sometime in the next year or two.

Great pics!

But, shouldn't two of them be in medium blue camo? :shock: :twisted:












Just kidding; the blue ones are one of my pet peeves! :x
