I use Han Solo for an avatar because, 1. He's better looking than me 2. If there were cowboys in space it would be him. A cocky nonconformist, (almost sounds like a real pilot)

A P-40 mock-up. Those look like laminar flow wings................... Did you get that picture out of your photo album?
These were made of bamboo and covered in fabric - then painted. I've never seen a picture of one though.
AwwwwShucks...you guys are too good for me. The first pix was the rare soft winged P-40 or it was pretty hot in CBI. Anaddah pix......yea DJ, out of my P-40 resto album. Like to see the instrument pannel. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It's the cockpit in the B & W seaplane, (Boeing and Westervelt) circa 1919?................or maybe not. That panel looks a bit more modern than 1919. Image Unavailable, Please Login
