Through The Mist Darkly

A great day at the CNE Air Show.  Lots of things going fast.  Above, 2 members of the US Navy Blue Angels team in a high speed manoeuvre. (click to enlarge)

That one little thing?  I lost a memory card that had all my shots of the F-22 Raptor and F-16 Viper.  Still lots of pictures to go through but I’m afraid the light was strong and there was a distinct haze that spoiled a lot of close up shots.

Another shot of the Angels in tight formation.  Beautiful aircraft flown really, really well.

A contract is signed for the development and production of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt.  It went on to become the heaviest single-engine WWII fighter to go into production and the first piston-powered fighter to exceed 500 mph.  More Thunderbolts were built than any other fighter
