Yeap, "Ace in the Hole". That T-6 is marked as a 111th Observation Squadron BC-1.

Nice to see your work on the F8F paid off Steve.
The paint job on the P-40N look very strange :hide: :hide:

I like the P-40 scheme! I may be biased since it's housed in my hangar 8)

I Love the P-40!!!

Because of the fact it is a tribute to TEX I don't much care if it's an N Model and it oughta be a A,B or XYZ.
But the blue sky in the mouth caught my eye too.

Any pictures of the originals with that treatment?

All's I could find were dark orifici...

I happened to be working at the B17 when the Bearcat and the Skyraider came back from Burnet and we were like 7 year olds at the hangar door.
