I can't help but notice a similarity between the canopy's of the razorback P51's and the P40's.
It's almost as if NA was snubbing their nose a little at Curtiss.

First pic in post 1367 is a P-40. Third pic in post 1369 sure looks like an F-82. Nonetheless, thanks for the great stuff, Snautzer!

I don't know how you could tell about the F-82 in the 3rd pic, but you're right. The first pic in 1367 IS a P40!

Easy. The F-82's tail fillet was much more prominent than the P/F-51D or H and reached all the way forward to the antenna mast. The fillet on the 51's wasn't nearly as prominent/big and ended about a foot before the antenna mast. Plus, look at the photo again and you'll see the antenna wire and small portion of the port tail.

See what I mean? AND to pile on.....the fuselage access hatch and overall shape of the rear fuselage is a dead giveaway as well.

I think that is the other airplane, parked next to it.
I did go back and look and this time, I noticed the shadows on the ground all show single fuselage aircraft, except for the one you mentioned.
This gives even more creedence that what we're really seeing are the two aircraft parked next to each other.

It it also a series of pictures in 1 foto. Would be a bit silly to cut it out now wont it.
The other in 1369 the same. You can also view this one in the F-82 thread.
