The goat is either nervous or in love.

Thanks Jack. It is kind of funny how the guy is smilin' and the goat has those glossed over, nervous eyes.
What kind of plane is that anyway?

I beleive this was part of the top secret "Project Gruff" where goats were specially trained to eat rice. The plan was to drop them by parachute behind enemy lines where they would hopefully eat the enemies supplies thus rendering them incapable of fighting. Another scheme which was right up there with the "incendiary bat bomb."

Looks like an A-20 to me.

Nice pic Jack!
Looks like a P-61 or a P-70.
Reminds me why Scottish Soldiers wear kilts! (I'm 50% Scottish!)

The angle of the picture had me thinkin' that it was a tail dragger of some sort......but I reckon the goat is the only tail dragger in the photo after all then, huh?

Cheek, that has nothing to do with goats, we turn them into sporrans!!
It has more to do with sheep.
By the way, pretty sure it is a P-61.

That's Boblin the mascot of the 548th NFS on Iwo Jima in a P-61.
note his horns are painted red to match the spinners on the sqd

That guy looks entirely to happy to be with that goat. What did they just get through doing? What the heck is an Army pilot doing with a Navy goat anyway? Maybe the Army Navy game was played that day, and Army won, and the goat was the bet.

THe P-61's plexiglass looks crazed.
