Obviously had a great time, 2 flights for A2A and a lot of US and Canadian friends...including many WIXers. Here's some, and they're for Doug! Great job of flying the Redtail Mustang!!!Nice job by the other pilots too!

Nice pictures Rich, good job. As you didn't put a space between each picture, #1 and #2 look almost as though they could be one large shot :D

Thanks for the kind words. It was through really hard work (not mine, the pilots) that this just barely came together. The three-stack was part of a conglomeration that lasted only an instant before NeverMiss had to break off. I'm thrilled I got that. It wasn't like we were flying along with three Mustangs in formation, it was rather hectic.

And Roger, ironic that you said that. When I looked at the images once they showed up, I thought "wow, didn't realize I got the lake at the bottom of that three-ship shot"...then I realized the lake is from the second image. It was midnight, too tired to hit return each time (just didn't think about it). :)

Right on Roger. I thought the same thing too. Looks like a horizon but I was wondering how they got the shot with that kind of closure speed. :shock: Pretty cool!

Hee hee hee! :lol:
I'm gonna do a little Photoshop gradient tool work, then you won't see any horizon at all between the two! It'll be a Tuskegee "C" model with two wingmen bouncing another Tuskegee "C" model!

I LOVE "NeverMiss", totally off-topic. :)

While you are photo shopping the horizon, don't forget to delete the tramp stamps!
