One of Yahoo's pic of the day.

Actually I live about 55 miles north, just drove down for the air show.  Awesome week-end, The U.S.Open was being played there that week as well.

Near Sharon?  I'm originally from the Shaler Area of PGH.

My top picks in a somewhat chronological order:

Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
SPAD S.XIII
Curtiss P40 Warhawk
North American P51 Mustang
Grumman F8F Bearcat
North American F-86 Sabre
Republic F-105 Thunderchief
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom
Grumman F-14 Tomcat
Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) F-15E Strike Eagle

Those, I believe, for one reason or another, were the cream of the crop for their time.

Possibly I'll get around to listing the crumbs of the crop one of these days...

This ones for Hazcat, Steeler logo on engine cover.  The 171st is stationed at Pittsburgh.


One of the few "flying" privately owned Mig's from the Korean war, I never realized they were so small...


For the F-15 fans.


This B-52 is only a couple years younger than me....   


The U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds put on one hell-uv-a show.    Flying F-16's.  This year is the 60th anniversary of the Air Force.



And because this is a "GUN FORUM", this is what I worked on for a year, to try and up-set Uncle Charley's supply chain....

This is a late H-Modle,in the early 70's they carried twin 20mm Vulcans,single 40mm Bofors,single 105mm Howitzer.  As I recall, they always returned to base,  "WINCHESTER" , meaning they were out'a ammo.   Yeh, they got the job done....


And for the Gentlemanly Bgregory,  a bi-wing from the beautifull years of air-craft design.


I hope I didn't use too much of Mike's bandwidth, but I don't know how to create an off-site photo album..

OK, no more aircraft photos.  Just a little bump......
