They all look good, but I like 2 & 4 best.
They're one of my favorites, too. The first time I stood next to one, I couldn't believe how small they were.

. . . all engine, and just enough airplane to make it very exciting.
Saw the Christen Eagles perform at Oshkosh in the early '80s - they were the Pitts !
. . . nice series Neil - TFS !
