Well now I'm REALLY kicking myself for passing up on a cheap MB this past summer...

I kept thinking of the "Warbird Kid" and his jeep.

He'll have to get some cool shots at airshows to add to this thread.

Great stuff!!

Let's not forget our friend Jerry O'Neill in Connecticut and his 1945 CJ.

Correct.
It's a pair of RAF .303 aircraft Brownings, license-built by BSA, on a British "Motley Stalk" ground AA mounting.

Ha.. funny you should say that, I just took a few quick shots yesterday at the shop! http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50250&start=30

I hope to get our Jeep outside and get Drew to take a few pictures when it gets a little warmer. Don't care about the snow really. It's the 10 degree weather that will get you! Thanks for thinking about our little money pit of a project!

An SNJ with training wheels

Is that a 4 leaf clover for luck, or a Maltese cross on the SNJ wheel?

CURTISS did the same thing (less the astigmatism testing paint job) to a couple of P-40's (including chopping a second cockpit in where the fuselage tank normally went)and used them to train flight line people how to taxi a tail dragger, and since this also has 'curb feelers' I'll bet that was it's purpose.

The p-40 you spoke about also has a tomahawk windscreen in front of the second hole to keep the bugs out of the guys teeth.
