Sweet Jeezus, they are REALLY pulling out all the stops for the show this year, aren't they!!! I think this might be the first time I have been even a little jealous of the sheer quantity and quality of the hardware showing up for Legends. Although to be fair, I fully acknowledge I am incredibly spoiled and fortunate to live so close to Jerry Yagen's facility here in Virginia, so it's not like I never get to see anything cool.

Wonderful photos as always Peter, and I am still in awe of the transformation in Lefty's old Lightning. Just wish they'd get rid of that silly red bovine on the nose!

Thanks again,

Lynn

Delightful updates, Peter. You are spoiling us completely.

Just keep 'em coming, and I hope the weather holds out for the weekend.

Thanks for your thorough and consistent updates.
Really enjoy seeing the amazing collection of aircraft that are being brought together at Duxford. Outstanding job by everyone involved!

I agree. If not for the Red Bull logo it would have the perfect look of a YP-38.
