Old Local Airshow PT-26

Postby Sean_TK » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:14 pm

These shots are about two years old now, but I thought that they looked good enough to upload. The aircraft is a Fairchild PT-26, a World War II US military trainer. I believe the white one is a Cessna 180.
(Also got to ride in and take the controls of the PT-26!)

Wonderful shots!  Just awsome.


And the white one looks more like a 170, on account of the rounded trailing edges of the horizantal stabilizers and wingtips

Nice!  Even though it's a bit washed out, I like the perspective in #2.  8-)
