Beautiful...beautiful shots, bdk & kzollitsch...thanks!

Tim, those racing T-6 photos are fabulous!

Al, I see you were at Arlington too; very nice shots...I especially like that Navy tri-color scheme.

And Jack...YIKES! :shock:

Yer motor head south? Or just a soft-field "learning experience"? Oh, do tell :wink:

Thanks one and all...I'm sure liking what I see!

this annual event usually gathers between 5 to 10 Harvard/Texan type aircraft... great sight & sound when in the air

Martin, what is the story on the one with invasion stripes? Is there historical precedence for that? I know there were a few 8th AF T-6s, but I don't recall seeing any with invasion stripes.

Wow! Pretty planes, fantastic photos!

Does anyone have any images of Jim Modes' T-6 flight out of California somewhere, some time in the '80's? They were painted up as Messerschmidts and did a real nice routine out here at Falcon Field back then.

Martin, some very nice shots there! Can you tell us anything more about this one that looks like a Hellcat? Quite interesting!
