I'm sure some "Johnny Come Get Some" will pick this off quick, but we'll see.

What aircraft is this?

No no no. Look closer - it's a P-39 with a P-38 and kero burner trying to steal the limelight.

Or is it a P-63? (note 4 blade prop) Maybe a P-39-Q-21 also. Is it me or is it the P-39 is sitting tail low?

I'm thinking Chain Lightning as the engine cowl looks a little long. Might be the perspective but it looks a little long in the tailboom as well. With the crane nearby I seem to remember something about drop testing it to death.
Was this at Wright Pat AAFB.?

No info on location. Or the lightning. But besides the big airplane in the middle of the picture..........anyone recognize what that is to the left of the Lightning?

Yes its the XF-83. i was really waiting for someone to say it was a P-59, but i guess you guys are too good for that.
