Nice catch. Good to see those old warbirds still flying.

I love the nose art on this era of planes.

Sweet. Nice that you captured it. Were you at a show, or just in the flight path?

Okay. They are my cousins and the reason i asked was i thought maybe you were a WWII/Aircraft buff. Ernie Gilbert, who has long passed, started the Buxton Warbirds. He bought many veterans together, even from axis countries like Germany. He once received a letter from Japanese fighter pilot Satoshi Yamashita. His son Tony continued the association after his dad passed and is quite well known within the WWII buff circle. He helped out with the publication of a book about the Battle of Britain - his WWII memorabilia was showcased in it.

Nice shot and great subject.
