That was about the time I saw my first Mustang at a Pease AFB (NH) open house. I actually overcame my shyness to talk to the pilot. His last name was Trainor and he talked about also owning an F2G (I knew the difference) that was a former racer. I belive he was from Pennsylvania and was killed in a crash of the Mustang not long after.

Rich,
nice subject matter, but if I might suggest, perhaps you could take some exposure lessons, and composition for that matter, from our resident lawyer/photog August. He could def teach you a thing or two. Just saying.

Now THAT is funny!
Rich, I look forward to working with you again next season with the B-17, Cat, and B-25.

This photo of N703, John Pletcher's JRF-5 (c/n B-81) "GOOSE" (ex-BuNo 37828) from Anchorage, AK is labelled as "Widgeon_Osh97.jpg"
While the Mansdorf conversions of the Widgeon did have radial engines, they were rare, and more importantly, the wing planforms are completely different. The Goose has a constant taper, whereas the Widgeon has a constant chord in the center section of the wing until it gets outboard of the engine nacelles and then it tapers, sharply by comparison to the Goose.
It is a good shot of the camera well plug in the bottom of the hull under the main cabin, though. Most ex-JRF-4 & -5 Gooses had that completely skinned over at some point in the past.

No, it's dormant in Texas. This is an S-43, twin engine. Bradley has the S-44 4-engine.

Great stuff Rich;
Those shots of the B-25's at Caldwell brought back a memory for me. I was driving on I-80 and saw one of those 25's depart for the UK. It was the right time of the year.
Also, it looks like that's Tom Reilly's truck in front of the Battle of Britain camera ship in the aerial photo.
Thanks.
