2. Mark Watt flying North American P-51D Mustang “Geraldine” with Dennis Sanders in Cavalier Mustang “Lou IV”. Both Mustangs are finished in the markings of the 361st Fighter Group and owned by Chuck Greenhill, based in Kenosha, WI.

4. Bill Shepard flying the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association’s North American Harvard Mk.4 (20422, C-FRZW) over Toronto, Ontario during the 2010 Remembrance Day Flypast.
5. Jason Somes is seen flying the Commemorative Air Force, Southern California Wing’s, Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat on Veteran's Day 2010. The photo was taken over the Mojave Desert as part of a flight of three warbirds headed for Nellis Air Force Base for their airshow.
6. This DH.83 Fox Moth is owned by Stan and Gilly Smith and is seen flying in the Waihopai Valley area near Omaka in the very capable hands of Bruce Donnelly. The camera ship was a Fleet 16b flown by Graham Orphan.
7. Jim Terry taking off for an early morning photo shoot in the Greatest Generation Aircraft’s North American B-25J Mitchell “Pacific Prowler” at the 2007 Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in Columbus, OH. This B-25J was made famous as the camera ship for Tallmantz Aviation.
8. Vintage Aero Flying Museum’s Fokker Dr. I replica photographed during their annual flying day/airshow at the Platte Valley Airpark in Fort Lupton, Colorado. It is powered by a "flat" Lycoming IO-360 that develops 180 HP; the original Oberursel powerplant only produced 110 HP. The cylinders showing beneath the front cowl are actually there merely to lend a measure of authenticity to the appearance as the original planes had rotary engines.
9. Andy Smith flying Brad Buchanan's 1975 Varga 2150A Kachina over the hills of Sonoma, CA. Often mistaken as a Beech T-34 when wearing military paint schemes, the Varga is slightly smaller, and was not used by the U.S. military services.
