For once, I'm not really looking for comments on the photography,
although I'll listen if anyone has any. I still don't have a lens for
this stuff, and I might never have one, with Sigma & Tamron dropping
the Pentax mount for most of their lenses. They both have pretty
decent 150-600's now, but neither for Pentax.

Hi,

Nice pix. I especially enjoyed the Flying Tiger and the Mitchell B-25,
which brought back memories of W.W.II.

Then you should enjoy this shot of the same B-25 I took a few years ago. I
have shared it, or a version of before.

Hi Duck,
That is a fantastic shot of a B-25. I clearly remember the Tokyo raid in
1942, which afforded little damage, but was a gigantic victory due to
its psychological effect on both sides of the big pond.

Since you mentioned "Flying Tiger" I believe you were referring to the
P-40.

Here is a pair of those.

Great pair of P-40s. Thanks so much.
