    Anyone have photos of these planes / flights?

    This might be a longshot, but I'm looking for photos of four specific flights, at least as far as taxi / takeoff / landing / taxi goes: Mon. morning 2-ship AT-6 Texan, Tues. morning 4-ship AT-6 Texan, Thurs. morning 8-ship T-28 Trojan & Fri. morning 11-ship T-28 Trojan. I posted regarding two specific flights last year as well and got really lucky with a few people who reached out and one who had the one photo I was looking for, so I thought I'd try it again. Times are local Wisconsin time. Anyone who might have anything that fits the below criteria, I would be GREATLY appreciative!!!! Just looking through photos and seeing if you have anything that remotely fits the criteria, as I know not everyone has time set correctly. Thank you SOOOO much!

    Monday morning, July 29
    - Two Texans (they were either adjacent or had one in between them): one yellow and one light gray / white with bright yellow wings and yellow banding on nose and rear fuse
    - Time ranges 10:30 - 11:17 and 12:06 - 1:33
    - Prep from around 10:30 through somewhere around 11:10
    - Taxi from warbird area to North 40 runway between something like 11:05 or 11:10 and 11:17
    - Rotation headed west at 11:19
    - Final approach and landing headed north on main runway 12:06 touchdown time
    - Off taxiway and into Texan row, parking at 12:13
    - Hanging around for a little while

    Tuesday morning, July 30
    - Four Texans that are spread about: one mostly light gray / white with fat green banding on rear fuse and wing, two pretty much solid gray and one gray with yellow wings and fat red banding on nose , rear fuse and wings
    - Time ranges 7:55 - 8:15 and 9:05 - 9:30
    - Took off and landed on North 40 runway

    You might also try posting this request on the Fence Check forums. I'm guessing you'll have a much better chance of finding a photographer there who has something of those particular flights.
