Those CBU-25s are cool! Putting them on target must take a bit of practice though.

One thing you can say for certain about war time Spads. They were a living breathing display of fluid dynamics.
Well I guess you could say that too about a lot of currently flying examples but the owners tend to clean them, thus removing the lesson.

Great photo.

Vietnam Spad drivers have the same cool factor as Seve McQueen, that's for sure.

That's a badass level up there with snake, nape, and gun. Ohhh, yeaaa.
