Wow.

Just...wow.

Did someone call me?

Yea..they were all:

then they were like:

And the British were like:

and the USA was like:

meahwhile the Germans thought it was in the bag...

But us Allies decoded everything...

Then the USA rolled in with this

and some of these:

It was a group effort:

The Germans fought back...even with their school buses!

The Allies prevailed and we all began wearing silly hats and shirts with total disregard for anything.

Is that Farve in the officer's cap?

AVGWarhawk · 06-15-11, 11:22 AM

Yes, and his nose tackle on the left.

Awesome posts!

I believe I'll be seeing the same Lancaster (and possibly some of these other planes too) at the very warbird-oriented airshow here this weekend. Mind if I also post my pictures here instead of making a different thread, since it's kind of similar thime?

AVGWarhawk · 06-15-11, 11:59 AM

Please do CCIP. I would love to see the aircraft you will be seeing at the event you are attending!

Bump!

Nothing overly fancy, but I'll start off with a few I got this weekend at the Hamilton Airshow that was squarely focused on warbirds this year!

In honour of the anniversary of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, they had a whole 8 flying Harvards (the Canadian designation for AT-6 Texan) flying this year...

Fairey Firefly. Doesn't it look just like an oversized Spitfire?

deHavilland Chipmunk. One of the many Commonwealth Training planes present...

Beech 18 and DC-3

Lovely flying PBY

C-47

And on the other side of it, probably the star of this particular show, the only flying Lancaster on this side of the world!
