Description

I missed this one. I was inside the museum and was standing right by the door to go out into the court yard. But never did. wish I had . I could got some real close up shots of this wonderful plane. What caught my eye outside was movement out the cornder of my eye and i saw the lady and the plane then. I rush to get the shot in with the lady. I remember my dad talking about Claire Lee Chennault because he worked at Chennault airbase here in Lake Charles intill it closed down and he retired. here a link to the Flying Tigers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers thanks for lookingand commenting too

Quite a suspension system keeping this historic P-40 in the air. The planes camouflage makes it difficult to see...but that was the whole purpose:) Thanks for this Jocko.

Wow, a cool capture of lots of stuff in this image! The P-40 must have pretty good suspension to keep it from crashing into the buildings and lampposts, Jock.

I would love to see that as the P-40 is one of my favorite aircraft. And the Flying Tigers are legendary. Nice shot Jock.

I believe the Flying Tiger's flew in Burma before the U.S. ever entered WW II. They were wild cat pilots from the Great Generation that served proudly. A classic aircraft well deserving of its place in Aviation history. Well done Jocko...a great shot
