Tall In The Saddle

[LN Strike Eagle]

Nothing much else going on today besides a flight for Hangar 11's Mustang.

Strong lighting once the weather front had cleared through, so some of these might be on the contrasty side. Only half as much sharpening as I'd usually apply too. Do they look OK?

Great pictures, they seem pretty sharp to me.

when was the last time the hangar 11 hurricane flew? i havent seen it booked for any events in ages. i know its for sale but the P40 seemed to keep flying even when it was up for sale.

Not seen it flying for a couple of years now. It was out of the hangar briefly earlier today to get the Mustang back in.

Very nice - I too see nothing wrong with the sharpness (although I'm not exactly famed for my photographic prowess ) and I do like the third one with the Jeep in the background.

Thanks for sharing

Call me blind, but the light hanging from the undercarriage bay, have they always had them? Never seen it before.

Nice photos though, nothing wrong with them.

Yeah, it's the landing light.

Looking good to me!

Great pics again of a very charismatic aircraft! I particularly like the low angle shot with the buttercups!
