Nice shot. I'm planning on going to "WINGS OVER WHITEMAN" at Whiteman AFB in Mo. this Saturday. Any UHH members going or have been before?

It had technology decades ahead of its time. Interesting factoid: The AAF was so impressed with the handling characteristics of the Texan trainer, that they attempted ... successfully ... to largely duplicate those characteristics in the P-51.

My mom was a Rosie the Riveter on those planes.

You've captured the beautiful lines of a truly historical aircraft. Excellent lighting and shows great detail. Mahalo for sharing.

I love the discoloration of the metal from the exhaust. It seems to add to the attitude of the plane.

A great aircraft. Which motor? Rolls Royce V12 Merlin built under licence by Packard?
