Several fantastic pictures from the Nellis Airshow. Everything from first looks at the F-22 Raptor to a very cool Fairey Firefly all the way to "Precious Metal" - an aircraft that started life as a P-51 Mustang (the tail and radiator scoop still look familiar), but the fuselage and cockpit were substantially modified for air racing. Most notable it has two contra-rotating three-bladed propellers that were taken from a British Shackleton marine patrol aircraft. I saw this plane at the Reno Air Races a while back and its amazing. I have to put this airshow on my list for next year.
