Well finally got some time to work on these. Pretty cool to see them fly.

B-24 Starting up.

B-24 Shortly after taking off.

P-51 Starting up and having a little trouble so it coughed some flames!

P-51 In the air. This little guy got up alot easier than the B-24 so I didnt get as close of a shot.

Awesome shots! I got to see these guys in Denver. Caught a short glimpse of the B-24 flying around in the distance one day, but didn't get to see her fly while I was at the airport. Nice catch on the P-51 start up too btw.

Nice. Wanted to take a ride but it just wasn't in the budget. The recession isn't affecting some people. Two guys paid $3200 for the hour ride in the P-51.

No kidding, I only rode because it was a present from my parents. It would have been cool to get some shots from the ground though.

Yeah its fun to see them fly. I think the B-24 is the only one left flying. I think there a few B-17s and P-51s left.
