airventure 07- part 18- more military props!

Plenty of classic American ATs this year, of course...
Did this one fly in from South Africa? Could be- in '03, there was a guy who flew a Lancair or something from S.A.
"Check out all the T-28s!"

The "Trojan Horses" do their thing, prop tips creating the most mind-blowing racket... the exhaust note as they pass is very distinctive, too.
An early trainer... I can't quite remember what it is.

The only airworthy Helldiver in the world... a look at the gunner's position; I'll present another shot later.
Next: part 19
