Jack - what does that say on the original picture? "Spirit of... "? Almost thought it was Bud Mahurin's airplane for a second.

It's the "Spirit of Lincoln County".
My guess is that it's being offloaded and barged to a pier in Italy
for the 325th FG.
It just looks, with the angle, that their running the 2800!

What's that movie where they dock the carrier by running the Avengers and AD's?

I saw video of that a while back, Bluedharma. Add that to the short list of things I wouldn't do in aviation, just under wing walking!

Aah, it isn't that bad. Keep the speed up, and it's a pretty benign event.
