Here are the first of the photos from WOH 2011. I took these with a little digital camera. I will have more once the film is processed. I will have to make them smaller. A little help please. I atached the smaller photos but cannot remove the larger ones.
It is the real thing. It is based at Elington field during the fall and winter. I have a couple of shots of it in the air. I will post more photos soon.
Good stuff! That's the only one of the four Zeros in the US that are flying I haven't photographed...yet. Is that Yak-52 based down there? I did a double take on that one because there is one with a very similar paint scheme at Santa Paula. I had to go look to see. It's not the same aircraft, but the paint schemes are similar enough to make me wonder if they used the same paint shop.
Thanks for cleaning up the dups. I am a film guy. My father started me working in the dark room around age 7. I am 111 now . I just wish I could find a place to develope the film correctly. I hate the tones the past several years. I may be forced to go digital. . B&W is still the best but the paper is getting expensive $$$. The computer I have been using losted the photo manager so I will have to find another computer to use. I have 4 rolls to sort and post. I have a couple of new planes for the collection. This is my 2nd flying zero. I have the old CAF bird also. The ones from musuems do not really count. I wish a could get all four in one shot. One day.
Getting all four in one shot would be one heck of a shot. There are three in Southern California right now and I would love to get those three together for a shot. I can't think of the last time three Zeros were together in formation. I am guessing it goes back to the 1940s.
