Warbirds to be exact. Here are a few shots from this weekend's WWII re-enactment in Reading. It was my first time at an airshow and it was a blast. All were with the D3 and 300 2.8 or 70-200VR handheld.

#1
Corsair

#2
Helldiver

#3
Spitfire

love the corsair. nice shots... man there was a lot of stuff happening this weekend.

Mother F*cker... Barry was right! I wanted to go to this badly when he mentioned it at Formula D. I totally forgot to look into it. Are there anymore coming up?

I agree with Grimm, the Corsair is sweet.

Nice pics. Looks like it was a fun time.

Looking again I missed the Hawker Hurricane, thats pretty incredible someone has one of those. Any P51's?

Slick 87 · 06-09-2009, 11:43 AM

This on-board shot is great! And the Spitfire is simply amazing. Thank god for the guys that fly, restore and maintaining these birds.

P51? if so they are sick planes.

cszakolczai · 06-09-2009, 04:10 PM

^ Yes, thats a P51D D designating it is a bubble canopy. The P51 had a few different variants. Tom Cruise owns one as far as I know. The coolest one still flying is the Big Beautiful Doll P51.

Elliott18t · 06-09-2009, 04:11 PM

thought so, was just making sure since it was an interesting angle.

cszakolczai · 06-09-2009, 04:13 PM

^ yeah, I love those planes, the Corsair has also always been one of my favorites.

yeah, the last model of it i believe. heres a few more.

the supercharged RR merlin v12 sounded so different and exotic compared to all the other radials there, from what i remember. impressuve for a 65 year old airframe.

edit: on a side note, facebook sucks for uploading pics. they look much better on my computer. might change them to flickr
