Re: FIRE!!!

That's cooool!! The polished Mustang sure looks sharp! Cudos to those who maintain that shine. I know how hard it is to keep those polished planes looking good.

Re: FIRE!!!

Its the Healer. Rhino bought Kevin's share of it, i believe the other owner is either Dick Pack or Al Moreno. Previously it was owned by the late Bill Jones of Aircraft cylinder and Turbine.

Re: FIRE!!!

Hello,
This is my very first post. I have been lurking way to long.

Victor, these are amazing shots and I love the "Man O War" shots on your site. I emailed you a long time ago about some of your shots. Since then I have spent some $$ on a camera and a nice lens. THanks for posting and displaying your passion for aircraft and photography.

I grew up in Madera California not to far from the airport there when the Warbids Airshow was there years ago. We used to sit out with the planes all night. I never quite got over that. Someday, I'll get to do that again. Time to get back to the studio. Thanks again for sharing your pics.

Cheers.

Re: FIRE!!!

Well, the really interesting thing about those shots is that they all have a fire in them. In the background of the last shot you can see the huge smoke cloud from the now ridiculously large fire near Santa Barbara / Ojai.

I have seen that plane, very impressive. In fact I have always wondered why almost all P-51's aren't polished like that. Sure it is a lot of work, but the damn thing is worth a couple of million, just pay someone to do it!!
