Dennis Stockton - note that Alan says "the FW flew parallel" - not an attacking manoeuvre (and may have been out of range).

Seeing the bambi bucket that close to power lines makes me nervous. The pilot must have balls of steel.

From Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barra_Airport):
Written on 2019/11/16 by David Seider
Barra Airport (Scottish Gaelic: Port-adhair Bharraigh) (IATA: BRR, ICAO: EGPR) (also known as Barra Eoligarry Airport) is a short-runway airport (or STOLport) situated in the wide shallow bay of Traigh Mhòr at the northern tip of the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The airport is unique, being the only one in the world where scheduled flights use a tidal beach as the runway. The airport is operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, which owns most of the regional airports in mainland Scotland and the outlying islands. Barra Airport opened in 1936. The airports only destination is Glasgow.

@ Dan Brink: I'm no authority either, but AFAIK the Royal Netherlands AF flies some straight-up DC-10-30s.

Thank you for the comment and I will keep looking up. This composite of yours was worth revisiting especially at this time of year. Very well done. However, I am not a resident of the Lone Star state so I must toss this pass to you, "Go Eagles".
apologies. guess abstract art just isn't my bag

The Do-335 Pfeil was briefly the fastest piston engine plane ever. However, in 1946 Republic Aviation rolled out the F-12 Rainbow in response to the same RFP that prompted Howard Hughes to build his F-11. Three examples of the Rainbow were built. One shattered all piston engine, propeller-driven, records with a non-stop LA to NY FL400 dash averaging just over 410 Knots GROUND-SPEED.

Push-pull props work fine. They do benefit from distance between props, counter-rotating props, and smooth airframe between props. The Adam A-500 has all the above. Burt Rutan clearly has a profound understanding of aerodynamics.
Thank you for your kind words warmwynds. I enjoy sharing my love of everything aviation. You have an excellent collection of photos yourself. Keep looking up.

(a mentor) giving YOU the benefit of the doubt - - I’m not going to try again. It’s perspective. You don’t recognize originality. I’m not going to reduce my uploaded photos to having people randomly in the way of my shots. This isn’t the first time you have judged my photos. Here’s what you can do instead, stop trying to discern everyone’s photos and enjoy the FlightAware community. Try to enjoy seeing things you may have not seen, Or try to see things in a way you may have not seen them before.
Nice shot of the Lockheed with props 3 and 4 being at the same angle. Forward weapons bay doors open too.

C'mon, (a mentor). Anybody with a basic knowledge of aircraft recognition knows that's the leading edge slat of a Falcon 900. Anyways, great picture Curt, thank you for sharing!

alan mistrater - Rex Beisel, who led the Corsair's design team, accepted an Assistant Chief Engineer position with Chance Vought in 1931. Beisel had already departed from Curtiss-Wright prior to that year. The U.S. Navy's request for proposals and specifications to which the Corsair was designed originated in 1938. The first Corsair prototype, XF4U-1, BuNo 1443, made its maiden flight in 1940. Chance Vought was located in Connecticut at that time. During 1948 and 1949 Vought Aircraft entirely relocated from Stratford, Connecticut to Dallas, Texas!! :-)

This United Flight 3262, EMB-145XR, departed KIAD for a flight to KAMA yesterday morning. Passed near the Missouri/Kansas border where Chris looked up to see this bird at 34,000 feet/454MPH. Not quite the speed of a bullet so he took the shot maybe right after eating his breakfast at 9:18 in the morning. One thing about C.C. posting's he gets the aircraft right.
maybe PSP or PHX.
