Great photos, thank you for sharing them! Though just a tad garish, I really love the looks of that Yak-9!

Seeing that Polar Bear is still fitted with the test blades (as I understand it) that are being developed for the P-82 restorations (copies of the original Aeroproducts blades), I'd be curious to know how much improvement they may provide at Reno this year (assuming that is the reason they remain fitted), or in typical operation. Looks like they would provide plenty more thrust!

A few more pics, since I got my film back today (the above ones are digital). Basically the same planes but slightly nicer pics because of the medium.

Great shots August.

Nice to see Taighs Harpoon and Beech there.

Polar Bear looks pretty wild with that P-82 prop. 8)
