I posted this pix in the other SBD thread, but in case someone hasnt seen it, here it is.
I caught all three primary USN carrier aircraft from 1942, all warming up prior to taxing for takoff for the mornings fly by. I think its pretty unique (by my standards).
F4F, SBD and TBM.
The sound of the three of them was magnificent.
This was the Chino air show, 2005. Unlike the prior years, we had excellent airshow weather right from sunrise. No haze or smog!
As orientation of the pix, we are looking south-southwest. The city of Corona is right at the base of the moutains. If you keep going over the mountains, you go into central Orange County.
