Any angle of a warbird is a good thing, but these angles have something extra special about them IMO. Sorry for no labels, too lazy tonight. Hope there's at least one in this batch you like. :wink:

Super photos. What's the Japanese aircraft with the elliptical wings? Is that a re-engined, re-tailed captured Spitfire??

The Japanese plane with eliptical wins is an Archi D3A "Val" dive bomber..late model I think.

Great pics! I think the one of the F7F is a modern shot of the Air Zoo aircraft (now owned by Rod Lewis.)

I admit, I had to cheat and right-click on this one to identify it.

Huh, thanks Steve, I never realised the Val was so elliptical like that. I don't recall them being like that in Tora, Tora, Tora. :D

Correct you are my man on that Tigercat shot. Can't fool you guys. Here's some more 'boring' shots, (that I'm sure you all have seen before as well) again too lazy to label them but I know you 'experts' know what they are, or do you? ... :wink:
No real reason for this thread other than just a few photos of some good looking airplanes from nice angles. Something to just make your day slip by better possibly. Who knows! works for me anyway :D All photos courtesy of .... me! ;)

I took a few liberties with Taigh's groovy photo, hope you don't mind Taigh.

Another liberty shot of the Texas Flying Legends Corsair.

I was hoping that Conrad would be on the ramp next to Taigh at Reno...
