I finally got around to Photoshopping these. I took them this year (March) at Luke AFB. Cali from the 169th will be transferred there this winter. I finally get to meet the sneaky bastid who keeps shooting me down!
Enjoy these.

That second plane looks like an old Texan (AT6 trainer). I just bought my father in law an hour long ride in one from Warbirds. He had a blast. I guess he trained on one during the war before he shipped overseas to fly his P47. Great pix. Thanks.

I think that was the main training aircraft of WW2. They had quite a few of those at EAA this year. Beautiful aircraft...I just love the sound of those things going over. Quite a distinct engine sound.
