Love the warbirds and formation shots. Am adding one of FIFI, the last flying B-29. Shot taken at Oshkosh Airventure 2011. Sadly, this plane is grounded pending an engine repair costing over 250,000 bucks.

First three images = Mitchell B-25.
Third image could include a Curtis-Wright P-60, but most likely not.

Thanks Lilly--the snowbirds went on for over 45 minutes, doing different flight patterns. All close tight patterns, I mentioned to the guy next to me, I'd like to see the Blue Angels next. He said I would really be disappointed after watching this show.

That is a B or C model P-51, not a Curtis.

Great captures. I think the B-25J is my favorite aircraft
ever.
Dad was a Bombardier on B-25s in the MTO back in the day.

Looks more like a P-51-B or C model. When the 'D' model came out, they went to a full plexiglass canopy. Prior to that, they were multi-panel. She has the belly of the P-51-B and later, but the multi-panel (and hard to get out of) canopy. Tried to link a photo but it doesn't want to link up this morning.
