I shot this before the vendor was setup but
later on they had a long line of people waiting for a soda.

This biplane is flown by a husband and wife wing-walking team. Notice
the structure on top where the lucky person gets strapped to and in
this case it was his wife. Kind of makes you wonder who's got the more
dangerous job here.

This is a P-51 Mustang which happens to be my favorite aircraft of all
time, new or old. This plane was a staple in WWII following and
protecting our heavy bombers helping to complete their missions.

A Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine makes it all happen and if you've ever
heard one of these planes, then you know there's nothing else that
sounds like it.

To learn more about this awesome aircraft I did a larger
write up about it awhile back that you can read about
right here
because this was a true hot rod in the aerospace world back then and now.

These are T-6 trainers that pilots would get seat time in
before they advanced to a larger and faster aircraft. I took some
pictures and videos of these flying that you'll see later.

This aircraft flew out of the Palm Springs Air Museum which is on display
their for anyone to walk through and is a great place to spend an afternoon.
|
|
I've been to this museum more than once and if you ever get the chance to
see it, you won't be disappointed.

Radial engines have an odd number of cylinders to give a better firing
order which helps keep them running smoother.

If you'd like a sneak peak to what you might find at the Palm Springs Air
Museum, you can check out some of the aircraft that I've taken pictures
of
right here.
