Ah luv the '51, but if my "Aircraft Records" CD ever stops on one track, I hope it's on the "Twentyeighthunnerd at Idle".

Lovely!

The last time I saw 'Wicked Wabbit', we were putting it into a box at Duxford in 1980-something. I hope to see it in 2007 - maybe as an 'interloper' at GML?

For a P-47, how much would this improve the performance?

Tarheel Hal doesnt have one...no real need for one I guess. Ive never really looked into the performance comparison with / without the supercharger. I know someone has one working out there and I though it was one of the two in TN.

There are so many warbird photo's around but these are awesome! Is it possible to get the original of the formation, what lens/camera did you use?
