What's the story behind that photo?
That looks very much like the display that was put on at the Dayton Airshow last year.
It was a mock attack with P38, P47, and P51. The day that I went, they said that the Guiness World Book of Record was on site to view the "longest explosion". I was standing near the fence line when it went off and I could feel the heat from there. Very impressive and loud. I have my own picture of the explosion. It takes up the whole frame.
