I've got lots of images like this. I'm a huge fan of WWII warbirds. This is an exceptionally nice inflight shot.

BTW, there is no more righteous sound than that British Merlin engine that powered both the P-51 and the Spitfire!

I love how your choice of a fast shutter speed resulted in the plane looking like it ran out of gas with the propeller captured without any blurring.
