A very famous shot of a P-47 pilot flying though the trouble he has wrought when he hit an ammunition truck.

I think a few of those might've grazed the snake's back as he was lying in the wagon rut.

Wow.... now I understand the phrase "in the weeds..."

Give my eyeteeth to be in the vicinity of some of those flybys... :D

In those early days, he would take a lone Phantom and a back seater, and push himself down low over the Gulf side beaches, ripping from one island to the next heading east from Gulfport.

I was on the beach in that area more than once as Phantoms would come in low enough to wave at the girls while on "bikini patrol". 8-)
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.
