OT Planes of Fame World War II Aircraft show pics.

Any closeups of the Mig or F-86 in no. 10? I never knew bombers had a Bud Light top turret either!
Nice pics!

 

man, that pacific princess has one Loooonnng left leg!

I noticed the bud light top turret also! -J.

 

Great pic's!!! Used to go the air shows at Offut, don't remember any Wildcats or Hellcats there.

 

Sure did enjoy your pictures. They reminded me of growing up and moving with my dad all over the country when he was in the Air Force. He was a bomber pilot during WWII starting in B-17's in Europe and finished the war in B-29"s bombing Japan. Reentered the Air Force in 1951 and flew B-29's again before going to B-47's and finally flying B-52's until he retired. Thanks for jogging those old memories.

Wow looks like a great show! Did the Aircobra in #3 fly?

 

Thanks for the pics, they're great.

Really nice to actually see the Northrop flying wing "flying".

Is this plane Russian?Looks like a YAK but not sure which model.

 

#25 is a two-seat Brit. Hawker Sea Fury, or just a plain Fury if it came through Iraq. Re-engined with a 3350 and four-blade prop.

 

Love those paint jobs!!!!

 

Awesome pix man....!!! Thanx for posting !!

Nice pics
thanks for sharing

thanks for the compliments.

 

Thanks DooWop

To bad the Photo's can't capture the noise and smell of those wonderful aircraft!!!

The plane in the forefront of Picture #18 is Capt. Ed Hoersch's 1952 Fairy Firefly.

It's the only one flying Firefly in the world..., since the Brit's had lost theirs.

I've seen this bird at Oshkosh and got to know Ed and the crew. He had a flat at Waukesha Airport enroute to Reno and my friend who owns a P51 helped with a wing jack and tools.

I met up with him at Reno and he told me that they are going to recover a P40 from the bottom of a lake in China!

Thanks for the pics!

The restoration I am anxiously awaiting is the P-61 in M***achusetts. It is #4 in existence and will be the only one flying.
