VNA Air Show

[Dangerousdave26]

Yesterday I spent the whole day at the Visiting Nurses Association Air Show in Stuart Florida.

They had a nice selection of planes. I shot over 500 pictures including a few videos. I will post a few select pictures here.

My appologies to our members who have dial up but these pictures are large.

For our Coast Gaurd Fans they were well represented

There was a very nice Stinson AT-19 that was converted to GA after the war. It was supplied to Britain under the Lend Lease Act.

I photographed this one and never looked at the sign too much other eyecandy both on display and walking around. What model plane is this?

Here is another one I could not identify. It has a propeller in the front and in the back.

Seven seems to be enough for one post I will post more later.

B-25

There were two very nice B-25 at the show one with bombs loaded. I swear I saw a Merc Air sticker on the one but it was on top of it and I could not get a picture. :d

Corsair F4U 5NL

I was surprised by the size of the radar unit on this old girl. For some reason he only had one drop tank installed.

Great pics DD - looked like fun. The unidentified gray plane with front and rear engines appears to be an Cessna O-2 Skymaster.

The B-25 is "Killer B" from the Flying Tigers Warbird Museum.

Nice pics DD, thanks for posting. The Blue Angels jet is a Czech L-39 Albatros. Paint job is darn near perfect match to the Blues. The F4U night fighter looks like it just rolled off the Vought assembly line. Sure wish I was a millionaire!

You got that right about the Corsair she was Fantastic

I shot video of her starting up when I get the chance I will post it to you tube.

It was and I got a royale sun burn from it but no complaints. The weather was perfect.

P-51

And more pictures now that I am home.

The only Mustang at the show.

The guy who flew it was NUTs he made a pass in front of the crowd that I swear was 30' off the ground. OK well it may have been 50'

T-6 Texan and a Penny

Here is something that I did not know

This is a T-6 Texan the Pratt and Whittney engine had a penny secured in place I assume that means the last overhaul or some other major work.
