An excellent action picture, the P 47 Republican Thunderbolt, it was the most powerful and expensive single piston engined fighter/bomber ever made.
 
Waaaa,,,, I keep getting busy this time of year, and just don't make it over the hill to the show. (Yakima).
 
We we lucky enough to have a huge warbird show in our area for a number of years. At one they featured better than 80 P51's. Too bad it was discontinued. One of the locals had a P47, the Big Ass Bird II. It has since changed hands (and name) and now resides in Texas I believe. The sound of those big radial engines makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Great picture too.

What a great noise that would be too! Great capture and I like the way the spinning prop has recorded.

I probably have 30 - 40 hours of video, much of it with that great noise.

The original engine on the 'D' model was a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-59 Double Wasp turbocharged 2,800-cubic-inch 18-cylinder twin-row radial. It generated 2,535-hp for a maximum speed of 433-mph at 30,000 feet.

Even better, there are no mufflers.

Standing right next to this aircraft with the engine running is a primal experience. This is a machine designed solely for the purpose of imposing its will...

Those pines in the back are just outa-the-park perfection of your eye, time, space, movement composition.....seeing scale in the background of the perfect-pines vs the mountain and our protagonist is a greatly done - is the cornerstone of perfection:smile:
