One of my favorite aircraft, just like its unique design I guess, two F-82's flying. The picture isn't the clearest but I thought I would share it. Does anyone on here have photos of the F-82 in the black scheme with the large radar in the pod between the fuselages? If so I would enjoy seeing some more photos. Thanks in advance, Russell.

P.S. There is a photo I recall in an aviation magazine which showed two F-82's in black flying together. They each had I think blue spinners. I have looked thoroughly at my magazines, of which there are a number, and can't seem to find this photo on the net or anywhere. It might of been in a copy of Flight Journal a number of years ago.

No guarantees, but this may be worth a look:

Thanks Don for the site. I see many interesting F-82 photos here, but so far not the one which I am looking for. Nonetheless, a great site to look at, thanks again. Russell

A quick search in google images on "F-82" and "Twin Mustang" result in the following:
