Fabulous shot. A real warrior's weapon. No offense to the unlimited budget "Oshkosh" resorations - but isn't this the way warbirds are supposed to look?....BTW, any Tex updates?

This is how I like them looking. They look more "real"...well because they were.


Tex is a true hero. :( I think every kid in school should read up on Tex Hill. And if he gets better maybe meet him in person. I've never met him but reading about him almost makes ya feel like you know him. lol

Cheers,
Nathan

Now THAT is a sweet looking 'Stang! Absolutely how they should look!!

Met Tex Hill at Oshkosh. Stood and talked to him for the better part of 20 minutes. Great guy! Get well soon Tex!
