Description

Greetings Folks, Piston Eye Candy today, not in the Legends series.. Wallpaper size, no writing on it.. Douglas Skyraider in VA-176 USS Saratoga markings, preparing for take off, lowering wings.. In the background can be seen a Pitts Special, good old days from Legend days of old.. No Raiders for two years now.. One year, three showed.. News : Me109E coming to Britain, the only one in Europe with a actual DB engine.. Will be here for Summer shows.. Also, living now in Belgium, is a Commonwealth Boomerang! (Replica but with original parts).. It is the first time any Boomerang has been in Europe at all). Enjoy Rob

I still can't get over how "BIG" this single seat fighter is. Just use the pilot as a comparison. Great plane, just ask anybody who was in 'Nam. Nice photo, Rob.

Beautiful shot, Rob! I know lots of guys who felt a lot safer when they heard one of these circling overhead!!!

Excellent profile portrait of that heavy mother, Douglas Skyraider, sans wing weapon racks and ordnance, Rob. And all the cool WWII stuff is in Europe, including the UK.

Brilliant, super sharp image of this great plane.....I love the 'tail art' on this. Fantastic news about the Bf-109...it'll make a mega change from the usual Bouchon's ( nice as they are ). The Boomerang too, can't wait.....
