The aircraft shots are nice. Where were they taken?

The P40 ironically looks like a plastic model

Nope, it's real and it flys. Most all of these planes fly. Often there will be oil pans under the recently flown planes.

Is that a P38 ??

Well, I've certainly had an "interesting" night. Gonna post for just a bit and then head to bed.

From what I recall, there's not many P38s left
I'd like to see a P61 BlackWidow but there's apparently none of those.

An Eagle Scout, cool.

Oh, look, there's Felix the cat, back in about 1949, hiding out in my mom's luggage. . I'll still tell that story, sometime...
