American Air Day @ Duxford – 17Aug12

Although it was a hot, humid, sunny and windy day, every time the flying started the clouds seem to roll in so photography wise, not very good. Only one flypast by 2 F-15’s and the Tanker, after an initial flypast, returned with a bit of topside. That was it from our colonial cousins. Fortunately the first Hercules airborne after the show did return for a flypast at the request of the tower.

Nice pictures, but I see Sally B’s tailwheel is hanging in the smoking pass, yet fully retracted in the shot with the P-51. Was there a problem, or just lowering the gear during the pass ( not something normally done ).
