Description
I missed this one. I was inside the museum and was standing right by the door to go out into the court yard. But never did. wish I had . I could got some real close up shots of this wonderful plane. What caught my eye outside was movement out the cornder of my eye and i saw the lady and the plane then. I rush to get the shot in with the lady.
I remember my dad talking about Claire Lee Chennault because he worked at Chennault airbase here in Lake Charles intill it closed down and he retired.

Wonderful shot, Jocko!!!!!!!!
Fantastic capture, Jocko! Very beautiful plane
Quite a suspension system keeping this historic P-40 in the air. The planes camouflage makes it difficult to see...but that was the whole purpose:) Thanks for this Jocko.
Wow, a cool capture of lots of stuff in this image! The P-40 must have pretty good suspension to keep it from crashing into the buildings and lampposts, Jock.
Great plane, there - & cool John Wayne movie, too . . . !
LOL a great shot... looks like the guy below is lunch for the Tiger plane..
I would love to see that as the P-40 is one of my favorite aircraft. And the Flying Tigers are legendary. Nice shot Jock.
Excellent find Jocko....!!!
A beautiful capture, Jock!
Interesting shot, beautiful photo! :)
outstanding capture Jock.looks like the lady is carrying laundry
Nice plane. I like that stair and handrail on teh left.
Great looking planes. Wonderful shot.
I see a lady doing laundry?? What a job that must have been to get his up
I believe the Flying Tiger's flew in Burma before the U.S. ever entered WW II. They were wild cat pilots from the Great Generation that served proudly. A classic aircraft well deserving of its place in Aviation history. Well done Jocko...a great shot
SUPERB SHOT
Yep, those were the bad boys of that air war
Many will love this plane and its history my friend. Bravo to share. Thanks Mile ((5 + +)) Beaucoup vont aimer cette avion et son histoire mon ami . Bravo de partager . Mile mercis((5++))
