Hank in a P-39 Airacobra! Well, I’m just sitting in it. Still, it looks like it would be fun to fly. Most of the instruments and gauges look familiar. Of course, the torque on takeoff, with an Allison liquid-cooled V-12, 1200 hp engine, would take some real rudder. Oshkosh always challenges me to balance my time between piloting interests and photog interests. Sometimes they come together; sometimes not so much. Notice how the hard noon light makes this a difficult shot. A little fill flash might have helped. This image was captured by the Commemorative Air Force pilot of this P-39. Thanks for the photo and many thanks for keeping this fine aircraft flying. In the near future, I’ll post a bit more information on the P-39 Airacobra.
