Interesting paint scheme. Don't think I've seen them quite that way.
Keep em coming!

I'll have to try to get a hold of a pic of my Uncle's F6f, right after his wingman had chewed up his backside to the armor plate behind him!
:shock: His quote was something like "When the plane started jumping all around I looked back and saw nothing but engine!"
