ToM '22 Heritage Flight - P51 and F-16

One of my favorite events of any airshow is the Heritage Flight.  The Heritage Flight is a combination effort between an older era aircraft and a current generation aircraft.
In this case, the combination flight was the P-51D Mustang Bald Eagle and the F-16 from the Viper Demo Team.  Great colors.
As with any shot of a prop driven aircraft, slower shots are always a crap shoot and to get a few useable shots is a bonus.
This Viper Demo Team and I have crossed paths earlier this year at JB Charleston.  The post is here.  Odd fact, the most visited post of the year at 237.  That photo is one of my favorites for sure.  And one of these will be in that class as well.  That paint job is incredible.  And the Bald Eagle's paint job is pretty cool as well.

This one is going to be a favorite - fits on the monitor really well.  If I could get some snow on it, it would be in the running for this year's Christmas Card.
