Love the new forum! This P38 Lightning was participating in the Planes of Fame Fly-in at Valle, AZ recently. I was very happy to get shots of this handsome plane in flight.

Nice wing position and exposure. Very unique plane.
Stunning aircraft, sadly i was at Duxford in the Uk when our only flying P38 crashed killing the pilot :( Always sad when i see one of these for that reason
But by golly do i love the aircraft
Well Taken, Is it much of a crop as looks a little soft? aside from that wicked shot :)
Fine looking Lightning Alan Top view has to be the best !!
.... Peter so sorry to hear about the crash, tragic !
Peter, it is a fairly significant crop, ~ 50%, but something else is going on here. I did a "save as" of the web image and compared it to the .jpg file I uploaded earlier and the image is definitely softer, as seen here, and colors are slightly off. Not sure why.Originally Posted by PeterCollins
hey alan, i thought i had the same issue this morning when i posted mine. the colors seemed off on the uploaded version vs the saved jpeg. we better check the colorspace we are saving in. gotta remember which one it is!
agree with pete that it does look a little soft, but wow what a great looking plane!! the banking pose is sweet!
I must admit the colors on my p40 one look better on my machine :(
Very nice EXp and plane, Alan, well done!
Are girls allowed here????
Of course girls are allowed here! If you've seen some of the nose art on many of these old warbirds it's pretty obvious that girls are really appreciated!
Nice image and subject. One of my favorite birds.
Fabs, bring all your friends. I'm sure the guys will appreciate the company!:D
Nice topside view Allan! Don't worry Fabs.....I'm going to post something a bit different!:D
Sweet banking pose of a splendid old bird. Pretty good on the props. Maybe another round of sharpening would help.
