This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Hi Vlado;
Two things; first is that this is a beautiful shot. It's moments like this that
make it worthwhile. The second thing is that whatever it is you're using to clean your canopy has great market potential

Randy, during the initial part of his first flight, I flew high top cover and let him have the airspace. When he was comfy, he cleared me in. The pix was taken during the rejoin.....it required a little bit of quick hand-eye-hand coordination.
Yes, the owner wants his identity kept private initially. But here is a clue: he raised his fist to signal a cross-over. (I did tell him we do remedial training at OSH for USAF standards.)
It is amazing how sometimes a quick photo makes a nicely composed panorama. This was a lucky shot.
Thx,
VL

if this pic doesn't put a smile on your dial, then nothing will.
Well done VL

Vlado maybe he'll get you converted to NA standards instead

It's still strange to me that the "trainers" and "fighters" use different formation signals.
Con-fu-zing!

What is amazing about the photo is, Vlado figured out how to post it himself
