Ted, Wonderful Gallery. I love the Stearman under the wing of the B-29. and how the props of the B-29 are carefully arranged. The P51 is mighty shiny. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 3:48 PM, Theodore Beilby tbei...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Heard a large radial engine noise outside last

Was able to get some shots of Fifi at a local air show earlier this year. The crowds were very large around her so I wasn't able to get nice ones like these. Well Done! I found the cockpit views interesting. Did not know the controls were dual for the throttles rather than the center cluster like

That's a terrific gallery, Ted. Most impressive, with creative angles and reflections. I'm amazed how clean and like-new all the gear is. I'm pretty sure I see some non-vintage avionics in a couple of interior shots. Some rather digital looking gadgets in one case. :-) On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at
