We've all seen endless pictures of airplanes with their engines running, but that cloud of dust brings this picture to life. I love it. :drink3:

So-so, like heck! You always manage to come up with really great old photos Jack. Thanks.
If you ever see VMF-223 Corsair 208, please post. It was frequently flown by a Marine that I know.
Again, great shots from the South Pacific.
