Okay, so it's just about my favorite airplane, right up there with the F-4U Corsair. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome

The plane in front is a Lockheed P-38. This is the kind of plane that the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery took off in in 1944, never to be seen again. (It was probably too much airplane for him, actually.) The second plane is the legendary North American P-51. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome
