Hi all,

this is the 2020 header image.
Image

I'm looking for images as a suitable replacement for 2021. If you would like to submit one to be considered for the header please do so now. You can post it here or send it to Image

Criteria:
Must be a warbird. No service pictures
Preferably flying but other situations considered
Preferably with a clean blue sky

Thanks for considering. I look forward to seeing what people have.

Me too Michel, but alas it cannot remain forever!
I will probably use the image to replace the header in the Firefly registry though :)

Don't know if this would be appropriate or not. It is an unusual shot. If you need another resolution, I have the original print and can rescan. Randy

I'll submit these two for consideration. Probably don't fit the criteria as well as others, but maybe one will work.

I like this one, and Scott, PLEASE REMOVE THE PHOTO FOR 49-2987, that is not, not was it ever Carl's plane, I have ask you a number of times to do this. Also it was never overseas, and never part of the Spanish Air Force. I stripped the paint from it and there was nothing but US markings on it.
