I'd say the guy that's laying on the ground there, stealing the supercharger is the one who took those gear doors off. You better look in the back of his truck. :lol:

According to Hal Shook - pilot of that bird, occasionally the gear doors were taken off when operating off of dirt strips because of mud buildup when the field was wet.

wonder how much drag removing the flaps caused. I guess better than having mud jam them and add to the weight
