Well I guess that would explain the prop then. You can also tell by the tail fin. It's taller and more slender looking than the P-39's, without the rounded rudder. Great pics syscom.
 
One of the great flyby's that Chino has been doing, to finish up the days flying is to put all available warbirds in the air (I think about 20-24) and fly around in formation (if you can call it that). People loved it. Theres nothing like the sound of 30,000 HP droaning over your head.

I could just imagine the sounds over England as the thousands of planes would form up to go on their missions. Or over Germany when several hundred heavy bombers would fly en mass over the countryside.

One other pix...... F16 with two P51's. two different era's of air superiority!

I remember years ago they did the mass formation of warbirds at Osh Kosh. It was an awesome sound, but the poor photographers that day were cursing it because they had to pick which ones to shoot in a hurry. I thought it was awesome! When they were warmin up at the end of the runway, you could feel the engine sound in your chest.
 
The A26 is a Korean War veteran. Even has a big patch in one of the bulkheads where a piece of flak went through it.

Here is the only pix in my collection of a B-23. I'm guessing it was 1984.

I suppose I might be the only person here in the forum thats seen one of them fly. I should drink a Budweiser over that astounding revelation!

Back in the early 80's, Chino would bring out their collection into the open for all to enjoy.

Here is their Me-262, and a biplane (of unknown make).
