This view gives a good feel for the chunkiness of the design which is (thankfully) intended. It's supposed to be like a P-47 Thunderbolt: a big, heavy, dangerous thing that has more staying power than it has any right to.

I held the fort, and I swung my sword
I have muted the screams
I have broken the falls
oh I have fought...
This is not a trainer but apparently the real deal, the North American Aviation 50 fighter made for the United States Army Air Force in World War II. The brains of the time wanted them all Khaki instead of powder blue on top and whitish on the bottom. No stealth here! It seems like enthusiasts still prefer the older, powerful designs which are not being produced any more. "Hot the rod and spoil the child," said Walt Kelly, the originator of Pogo Possum, an aged syndicated cartoon strip. Kelly was a genius of the media. Perhaps you know a famous Kelly saying, "We have met the enemy, and he is us!" Pretty much applies after decades. Here is North American Aviation's World War II aircraft and that had a pretty beefy radial engine. They built 15,495 of the various versions starting first in 1935 according to Wikipedia. It was instrumental in winning the War of the Pacific. If I remember, that it was perhaps the most produced WWII aircraft.
I got a notice about an upcoming airport fly in and show. I checked with Ron and he said it would be worthwhile. I got out there a bit late and so I was rather hurried. The airport approaches were a disaster of activity but I headed around the back intending to park at Ron's spot but had to settle for a space six cars over from the best access to the show. I was not dissatisfied! I could quickly walk over to the activity and was happy with my fortune.
I, of course, saw the interesting sky streaming down from the hills so I tried to use it in the composition. I managed to incorporate that sky in some of my shots. I finally caught Ron when I was done and was glad to dodge the cleanup in the aftermath.
