RE: Hows this for CLOSE!
The funtana is about 56" WS and 56" fuse length....the P-47 is about 80" WS and 70" Fuse length. It does look wierd and disbelieving. It makes the funtana look almost as big as the P-47. I was using a Cannon A80 Camera. I had it set on rapid reshot as I was following the P-47.
I called the guy that was flying the P-47 after I saw the pic for the first time and told him to go kiss his P-47..this was his first flight on this since he bought it at SMS at perry GA a week ago. The pilot/owner was a young man named Ryan Evans... What's more funny is the guy (Ronnie Combs) flying the Funtana was in the pattern. The P-47 was flying WOT on the down wind coming across the field.
