Hey all,

Everybody's got at least one of these. So here's your chance to post your favorite everybody-pile-on-the-warbird pic (vintage or otherwise).


I'll start it off with a Tiffy. No idea on unit or location.

Anyone remember the old "Say Again, Please..." photos that used to be in Flying magazine? I recall one photo of a plane....can't remember if it's a P-38 or a B-24...but there are a LOT of people all over it, and the comment says "Hey Louie....you hear something cracking?"

Watch this part of 'Flying Down to Rio' and you can tell it was shot prior to when the Hayes code went into effect, lots of 'unfettered' stuff under filmy outfits
