Great looking plane! I wouldn't mind flying off in her, right up into those beautiful clouds. Looks like a perfect day for a fly. Great shot.

Great shot Dana! My brother had the opportunity to fly one of these across Canada once a long time ago with his friend flying one alongside. To say they enjoyed it would be a major understatement!

Ultra stellar POV employed in this snap of the great fighter, especially the propellers and red spinner hub contrasted against the partly cloudy skies, Dana!
