Those all three are great! The second Phantom: nice ass ;)

Not a photo per se but I like this:

Who is the artist?  That does remind me of the work Phillip Castle did.

Oh, one more thing...
If you have problem with link I posted previously and if you're interested, I've got some Gangus hi-res works, as well as couple tributes (too large for posting, in total 9.35 MB zipped).
Just notify me and give me couple days, since I'll be away from home at least 3 or 4 days...

I have often wondered…did the XB-15 have the 'legs' to fulfil its planned mission…

Now that's what you CALL an 'aircrew'!  :)

But they're no good as a structural test load as the loading is in the wrong direction......

Could be, it'd be a realistic load for an XB-15 flying inverted steady state.......      :o

Some interesting, digitaly recoloured photos of RAAF WWII platforms here.  Many would look really good framed.  Click through them all.

The Vultee Vengeance is probably my favourite!
