Great photo! Thanks!

please for general knowledge !-the A/C 2-write the name on the horizantile tail . Air bus , boeing. mig .........

WOW!

Never thought the Privateer looked right somehow. The Liberator was a much more balanced looking aircraft. Must have something to do with that huge tail!

Great shot! Beautiful subject too!

Great picture, well captured.

Holy Smokes!! Best picture I've seen is a while! Well done!

Nice picture; but, looking at the sky, it looks photo-shopped. For our friend who didn't know who made it, the company was Consolidated Vultee. This aircraft is a modification of the B-24 for low altitude marine reconnaissance and patrol in WWII. This one is a postwar Privateer heavily modified as a trainer. Even the engines have been changed. There is an example at the Flying Tiger Museum in Galveston, Texas, of the WWII aircraft. That aircraft was being restored to flying condition when a hurricane ruined it. Now, it is only for static display.

Bruce McDanel - I assure you that sky ain't photoshopped. It was the most weird SoCal weather for May. Sunburn one moment, rained on the next.
I tried to take shots as good as this with my iPhone - massive fail. All credit to the snapper in this instance. This plane was my hero of the show. It's always there but normally just a static exhibit.
But damn, it is weird looking compared with a B-24

David Malsher is correct. Last Saturday May 6, produced some nice lighting with clouds and some sun as the Privateer and two B-25's paraded around the Chino fly-by pattern at the annual Planes of Fame airshow. The next day had similar lighting w/clouds & sun and then at the end of the show, a rain shower w/some lightning!

Very Nice!...catch the ailerons.
