This one is always a favorite at any airshow. I love this old bird!! I hope you enjoy these photos. I could have used a bit slower shutter speed to get more propeller blur. I also discovered something in these pictures. I need to clean my sensor real bad!!

Comments welcomed.

    Nicely done , Ron. I've always liked the D-Day invasion striping on planes. Interestingly, this plane has different nose art on opposite sides. I've seen such before but it was not commonly done.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom! I just heard the meaning of the stripes from someone here at work today for the fist time. Now you mention it also. I am glad to know this!

    Very nice work, Ron! I've always loved the P-51. And I know what you mean about the sensor - when I'm shooting props on a sunny day, that small aperture makes it look like I sneezed on the sensor.
