This one's full size: http://www.planecheck.com/index.asp?ent=da&id=11870&cor=y click on the pics and they enlarge I'd really like to pull up alongside some snobbish P151 owner, clear the guns, and say "Fight's On! Could you imagine the look on his face? :-D Think the Lightning was cool?

I'd do it anyway just to get out of chores, most likely. - Max I’ll donate a saddle-broke roping and barrel-racing quarter horse, if it helps make this happen.

Very nimble, good at low altitude. If it had a better power plant, it might have had a reputation close to that of the Mustang. As it is, in the hands of Soviet pilots, it racked up an impressive number of kills. At least it didn’t have a cup holder!
