Something about the P-63, not sure what it is, but it's just a great looking airplane. Need more flying these days IMHO.
A few more for no other reason than it's fun to look at no matter what color / scheme / nationality.

We had a posting on the Florida B-17s thread about someone hoarding some very ragged crash remains, but it was confusing as to whether it was an Airacuda or an FM-1 Wildcat:

I wish there had been some CGI Airacudas in that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow movie.

HA! I too had similar thoughts... that would'a been groovy.

Here's one that was posted by a friend in one of my Facebook groups. Her dad took this shot of a YFM-1 with spurious 27th Pursuit Squadron markings at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair.
