Its good to see them preserved as well. There is no way to coexist no matter how many bumper stickers there are on Subaru bumpers!

Dont know if drawing this a/c on a mission would have been a good thing, or a bad thing. You gotta figure its number would be up soon if you drew it. Some brave dudes climbed into that old bird.

The sharks teeth paint scheme originated with The Flying Tigers on their P-40's flown by the American Volunteer Group which was formed to help defend China against Japan prior to the onset of America's entry into war with Japan. Fact or Fiction - the paint scheme was said to be adopted to strike fear into the Japanese pilots. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

The P40 tomahawk/warhawk is the fighter most associated with the shark's teeth, but I do believe it was on other fighters as well. Helos too in later engagements as Dan mentioned. I'm partial to the P51 D Mustang as Grampa fought in one, but being a Marine myself I have a soft spot for the F4U Corsair. They both had their strong points, and not too many weak points.
