After seeing both yours and Tom's photo's from KSDL I am disappointed that I didn't make it over there while these gorgeous birds were there.  You guys caught some great images. This one though is crispy like bacon.

Thanks Ross! Tom and I had a lot of fun, waited well past sunset for Betty Jane's last flight to return. It's always good to see these airplanes, and you just can't beat Scottsdale's backdrop.

That's a nice shot of Witchcraft Matt.  It was definitely a lot of fun out there on Sunday.

Nice work guys! What was the occasion?

Scott - this was part of the Collings Foundation annual Wings of Freedom Tour.

Thanks, I should pay more attention to these things! I was at a car show that morning near Bell and Thompson Peak Parkway and saw the B-24 fly over and later a P-51. Had only short lenses with me so I didn't stop at Scottsdale.

Awesome set of shots, guys!  Matt, that dusk shot of Betty Jane is just awesome.  Really wish I could have made it to SDL over the weekend, but was dealing with a complete replacement of a drip system in my front yard.
