Nice one of the Tigercat. I see you had the same problems as me - & everyone else I expect. That haze was a darned nuisance but at least you got to see them fly this time. ;)

Tell me about it ::) Almost all my shots suffered from looking into the sun or the haze. Never mind and as you said, I got to see them fly so I'm happy. :)

Nice shots Roger but in the first is it normal for P-51s to mate whilst in flight? ;D

Ah yes- what I was looking for- a Tigercat, upside-down. That's nice. Good job.

The  mighty Tiger -and Bearcat...there's nothing more you can do with piston engines. Together, they have a total of 7500hp...equal to the airliners of those days...and these are just 'small' aircrafts. Can't wait to see and hear those next year at the Flying Legends airshow.

Btw, on the internet I found an airworthy Bearcat for sale...$2 000 000 and she's yours (=two mustangs).  :D

I'd take a Sea Fury and DH Hornet... ;) ;D

Although I do like those big cats, I'm with Charlie on this one ;)

Again I'm gonna have to go against the Cats on this one. ;D

Good photo's though.
