ww2 planes

[Trajan]

Bones, did they have the P-51C and the German jet there?

sure thats not a "B"?
j/k....same same except the Eng. and factory if I remember right...

You prolly noticed it was modified to be a 2 seater? I saw a guy take a flight in it when it was in San Jose. Apparently it costs about $3,500 for one hour.

wow, thats pretty steep. it was $500 I think to fly on the 17...well worth it though imho.

I did WWII reenacting/living history for years, I have tons of war bird pictures from the airshows we did. Unfortunately they're all on disc, in storage.
What's cool is having a Spitfire fly overhead, there's nothing like the sound of that Merlin engine and the graceful lines unless it's the Corsair and the Mosquito.

One I was at we had a couple of Sabre jets, not WWII but dayamn, that was awesome to watch.

The Spitfire is powered by a Rolls Royce Griffon engine.

This Grumman TBM Avenger is a TBM-3E built by Eastern in 1944.

The Spitfire is powered by a Rolls Royce Griffon engine.

And the Rolls Royce Merlin. Both were used starting with the Merlin and eventually switching over to the Griffon. Variants of the Merlin were used throughout the war.
