I just looked and I didn't see an D-Day striped 47M's. That is a 2 Merry's and 2 Razorbacks in the picture right?

If my memory serves, the whole group switched to Ms at the same time, but received D-25s and D-27s to phase out their razorbacks. It's most likely a D-25 in the picture.

The Bubbletop closest in the image is supposed to be Gabreski's D25. The other Bubbletop is supposed to be a p-47M - Pengie IV to be exact. It was the plane of that crazy arse Pole.

We have Gabreski's D25 skin and a razorback version of Pengie II

Dang Arlo, that's where you hid all the helium. At that alt a little bit went a longggg way for that sweety. Just get a trench coat on her before she gets back on the ground. The saggage won't be pretty.

Good to see a YUCCA in the mix.

You are either with them or with the terrorists!...
Which means you are with them anyway... I guess... The Bush logic is really confusing  :O

LilMak is the reason people are afraid of P-47s. He scares them all away.

But seriously, great group of guys.  :joystick: :airplane:
