That's a cool pic. My skipper asked me today why i had a Su-30MKK FLanker G as my desktop......I answered that I needed to visualize my enemy. In all seriousness, they have some beautiful airplanes and I would gladly smoke check any of them

That is a cool photo……is the plane causing that slice through the cloud?

I'm 99% sure that is a Tupolev Bear, and yes I think it is causing the rift in the clouds. Its a really cool pic.

The famous plane before it was famous. Delivered to Eisenhower. Original military paint job.









The one we all remember after the new paint..

Finally took the plane out yesterday. Such a great time. I'll post some pics & maybe a video later.

Yes that is an F7F Tigercat. The owner has at least two of them. He also has 4 Bearcats including the fastest piston engined propeller driven aircraft, Rare Bear (the purple and orange plane that I shot the nose of)






And the Tigercats...

Tigercat, a rare radial marvel....killed by production delays and the advent of the jet engine.
