Re: john and phils great adventure
Nice shots. There is no "wrong" way to take a picture, just different ways of setting one up. (OK I guess a wrong way would be if your F-stop was off and the focus was off as well, but thats getting hard to do these days.) If you shoot enough pictures eventually you will find you have a certain style, its just a matter of finding out what it is and perfecting it. Keep shooting and you will find what works for you.

Re: john and phils great adventure
That Skymaster (N1166B) sports an interesting paint job, even if the S/N (2-1383) doesn't make sense. I don't know when O-2s were manufactured, but in any event ...
52-1381/1386 Convair RB-36H-55-CF Peacemaker
62-0209/1783 Martin AGM-12 Bullpup missiles
72-1370/1383 cancelled contract for Cessna T-37C
And the shot of the Mitchell is sweet (I love B-25s) except somebody parked that box-kite in front of it, got in the way.

Couldn't run down that Cessna, its military history. They were all built between 1967 and 1970, but the FAA site gives a S/N [5793] that doesn't go anywhere. They also say it was built by Luscombe (?).

Re: john and phils great adventure
The O-2 is real. The airplane is an actual combat veteran and is owned and flown by a very nice little lady who has been doing this airshow thing for a long time.
BTW, the paint job is accurate too. Some O-2's were painted this way and in big red letters had THE FAC written across the top of the wing.

If you have a good s/n for the Cessna, I'll look it up on Joe Baugher's site. It's always fun to learn the bio of a particular airframe.
