THANK you! I couldn't figure out how the plane's gear had sunk into the runway. And now I get it
In reply to NickD :
Man, I loves me some Jugs!
A friend of my father's was a Jug pilot in the war. He told some great stories, though I'm sure that as a 10-year-old kid, I got the sanitized version. He did fly more than one mission with combat against Me-163s, though, late in the war.
P-47H, one of 2 airframes fitted with a Chrysler inverted V-16 engine. Didn't really pay off and the idea was dropped in favor of bigger radials:

P-47 is up there in my top three along with the P-38 and P-40. Funny how the RAF hated the P-47, but the USAAF and the Soviets absolutely adored them. Granted, the Russians also liked P-39s, so that may not be the most glowing endorsement.
I am constantly amazed at how much I want a mid-60s A-Body.

That is a gigantic duck!
I always had a soft spot for the notoriously difficult Baltimore Whore...
Enough of car shows. Hunting Brew Pubs in SW Ontario is the new game.

My guess would be maybe an inflatable boat for when they drop into the water?
