Wish there were some FW 190s or a BF 109

Maybe even a corsair :)

There was corsairs and P-51. I had posted pictures from previous years of the same aircraft. I only posted new aircraft this year. :up:

I knew I should of gone today :damn:

I think after seeing the wildcat in person it is a nice looking plane. She is raw power as well.

Here she is on a fly by:

Mayhap you should of went. Sorry, my grammar-sickness kicked in. It's "should have". :sunny:

I with they'd do something like that out here. Great pictures:salute:.

It really is a great show. The museum does a nice job with it all.

Well to me it's ugly and missing any form of elegance that the Mustangs, Airacobras and 109s have. It's just a garbage can with a rectangular metal plank punched through it and a big engine.
But it's all a matter of taste.:O:

The Wildcat can not be compared to the likes of Mustangs, Aircobras or 109s! These aircraft's roots started somewhere and often as an ugly duckling. The Wildcat transformed into this:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. To me....nothing beats this:

Was she the best for air to air combat? Not always but in the right hands she was formidable.

I did not get to see her operate though.

Excellent pictures, :DL

This was neat...the Corsair owner let vets that flew in the Pacific sign the wheel flap.

This was a tank used in the movie, "Band of Brothers." This was there the very first year I attended WW2 Weekend.

This P-40 was the first I have seen operate in person. The owner/pilot was the nicest gentleman I spoke with. We talked about the aircraft for a good 30 minutes. He enjoyed sharing his 'toy' with me. Said to say not but 8 months later he was at an airshow in NY. He went down in the Hudson. His body and plane never recovered.
