They are all aerobatic aircraft except the yellow one is Home built formula one race aircraft. All formula one racers must use the same engine a Continental IO 200 and the aircraft of their own design.

The Northern Lights Aerobatic team had just completed their show and they all land together as a team. Tail dragger aircraft tend to be a bit tricky on the ground and one crossed in front of the other. The propeller had struck the canopy and was about 1 inch from the nose of piolet, piolet was OK!

Love the GeeBee, the original plane was a classic example of biggest possible engine in the smallest possible airplane.
James Doolittle was one of the few that were able to handle it.
