Bob,
2017 at Veterans Airport rides on a P51 were available as were many warbirds. I flew in a tiny twin engine low wing trainer and cannot find my pics or in cabin video.
I sat in 'coach' 6 seats as copilot seat cost far more.
The crosswind yaw was odd to experience. Smallest aircraft I have flown in.
I think the pilot was using Beech xx on radio, however I think the plane was British from 1938 used both as trainer and shuttle for officers in WWII.

I did get to sit in the top turret of a B-25 at Scott Air Force Base during a fourth grade field trip. Too cool.
Wow! That's a cool photo post!
Okay, guys, we’ve enjoyed the sidebar, but this is an image-sharing thread.

My father was a photographer in the Arizona Air National Guard from 1949 to 1965. After his death, I was blessed to inherit all of his negatives from a lifetime as a professional photographer. Many of his military photographs were taken with a USAF KE-12 4x5 camera - a Graflex Speed Graphic. I am in the process of curating all his negatives and the 4x5 negatives are a joy to scan. The image below was taken with dad's KE-12 and he used Ansco Superpan Press film. He was flying in the back seat of a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. He often told me it was his favorite airplane for making aerial images as you had a large canopy with lots of room to maneuver. This image is part of a series of air-to-air photographs he made of his squadron (197th FIS) prior to their transitioning from F-86L Sabres to the new Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
Wow!
Sharp negs and scans!

I saw this on Instagram but it's great to see it much larger here! Really cool photo!
I have a KE-12 with blacked-out lens board and matching black Kodak Ektar. It would certainly be interesting to know what photos it took.
