Tommy Anderson - I absolutely love this picture. I hope it's okay, I shared it on Facebook and Pinterest. I also made it my "background" on my Facebook page. I love this picture. I will be ordering one shortly too. just one question - which version do you recommend? I can't wait to have this taking up my wall above my computer. I "fly" the TBM alot in IL-2:1946, especially in my "airgroup." Gorgeous picture
