Managed to catch these two in Florida the other week. Never know what's going to turn up while overseas.

Thanks for sharing these with us, very interesting to see them. Never likely to see one at RIAT of course.

Great post, that has certainly raised the bar with regards to the rarity value of photos posted on here.


Many thanks.

Gotta say that I'm with you on this Bilvo! Instead of wishing for this & that....go get 'em? :roll:
Highly likely you won't get to see anything super-special sitting on ones arse at 'that place'. :whistle:

Great catch in any case! :thumb:

Interesting comments from Bilvo and Supra. Sadly these days I'm unable to get around as much as I would like to, but even going to RIAT is a bit challenging now. But I always make the effort. I do really enjoy viewing the shots that are put up on FC and grateful for the time that people take to do so. Like a lot of people, I wish I did have a time machine and a top class camera, but I do have lots of memories and still got logs going back to the 1960s. What I would like are new knees and hips, and something that reverses the ageing process and I could venture further afield again.

Interesting comments? No, just plain rude and assuming that everyone can go anywhere in the world. Probably shouldn't expect better from those two!
