Nice pics, love the Hellcat at sunset one!

BTW, first N American show for the P-40C - for those of us that travelled to Omaka, NZ, at Easter, it's old news. :wink:

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments.
If you notice, there's not a lot of people in the background or foreground. I only get time to take pics when they arrive or after hours. The Tora stuff was a fluke since Air Boss sent me out to the runway and I had my camera with me in the cart. I only had to pay attention to Boss on the radio.
Who knows, it could've been you Chris! :lol:

They had that beautiful P-40 just sitting there, and they weren't comfortable with putting her in the Tora display?! She's made for it!! :cry:

I have to agree that on of my favorites is the Hellcat at sunset shot. The B-25 with the golden hour sunlight shots are nice too. Great pics!
