  • Seeing Double

    The Stallion 51 folks have got both Crazy Horse and Crazy Horse 2 on the line at the moment; they're planning to rebuild the original sometime soon. It gave me the opportunity to shoot a flight of two Mustangs in identical livery, though: how cool is that?

    The attached photo was shot at 1/40 sec with the Canon 5D and the image stabilized EF 24-105mm f/4L zoom at 55mm, hand held. The foreground ship was already rolling; hence the slight motion blur.

    You can see more of the flight, including some very cool air-to-air photos my friend Stuart grabbed from the back seat of Horse 2, at http://www.pbase.com/stevezzzz/stuart_p51

          High praise indeed from someone whose photography I've admired for a long time. Thanks, Victor.

          BTW, what lens is that you're using there in your avatar?

              No need to deny yourself, Peas: just get a second mortgage and go fly Crazy Horse yourself!

              I wrote Stallion 51 a big check three years ago to get my hour in the Mustang; even though the amount could have covered a semester's college tuition for one of the kids (in-state, anyway), it was worth it.

              But I'm _soooo_ jealous Stuart got to fly (and shoot) in formation with another P-51.

                I'm almost 74 & there is no other sound like the P51. I've been around them since I was a kid including then Cleveland Air Races after WW2. I hope Strega & Dago Red are both flying at Reno this year. I would still like to up in one before I pass on.
