Probably ;D The funny thing is that there are five exhaust pipes on the left side and I believe the mini-Mustang has a V8-engine.. I'm confusedlion rock said:Runs on 9 cylinders 8) ;D;D

The frontmost pipe is not blackened, maybe it is fake? ;D

There are a couple here powered by Chev 350 V8 engines, including this one, but I think yours got the instructions wrong ;D

A full size P-51 undergoing restoration to return to flight and in the foreground you can spy the Mosquito under construction. The museum has about 85 aircraft in its collection and they have 2 conditions as to whether an aircraft is maintained as flightworthy. The first is that they must have at least 2 of the type and the second is that it has to be able to be operated within the constraints of their budget. The first reason is fairly obvious as they don't want to lose a unique aircraft in an accident but the second one they have been able to get around where they have "permanently loaned" an aircraft to a private museum such as they did by providing an Avon Sabre to Temora. Unfortunately that aircraft has remained grounded while they sort out a solution to the MB ejector seat no longer being serviceable.

A few pictures from todays airshow at Örebro airport.. I have a full 128 GB CF card with 5000 pictures to go through, it will take a few weeks..
But it was really nice, the audience was allowed to stand just a few meters away from the airplanes starting up in the flight line. It is a bit noisy to stand between a Spitfire and a Mustang warming up the engines, believe me 8) Not to mention when the vintage Saab jets started up; Draken, Viggen, Lansen, Tunnan, 105... But I simply love this ;D Now I have fuel to keep spamming until Christmas ;D

Hi Erik.
I second that emotion, but 5000, I thought I better ease up at 1600 in a day. I have had a cursory look and think I might have a couple of nice shots to share but drinking with friends got in the way of editing! :
Some years ago our local airfield managed to have a nice air show, a rope between us and the planes which were parked as close to the rope as a self parked Spitfire can get, I stood behind when it was fired up, amazing.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Grahamn
The weather wasn't very nice so I guess 99% of the pictures are crap anyway.. The SK35 Draken did it's best to bring some warmth but it didn't help much ;D
Good idea, I managed to stop at 2300 todayValvebounce said:

Hi Erik.
Very nice shots of the planes in the rain, we had the two Vampires of the Norwegian Airforce Historical Squadron, possibly the best jet display of the weekend with the exception of the Red Arrows, such smooth fluid formation flying.
I'm now glad I took that many photo's yesterday as today was cancelled, well at least all the flying land based Air Festival activities etc, it was raining sideways, cloud base about -1 metre so we all went for a drive round just for something to do.
Cheers, Graham.
