Check out the difference in the lines. The spitfire tail is nice and flowing. See how it flows from the fuselage to the tail. And the tail wheel strut is longer on the spit.

I’m guessing this is a Yak of some model. Either way though. Something I’d love to fly.

Interesting. What was throwing me off was the opening in the wing near the fuselage. I knew that wasn't a characteristic of a Spitfire but couldn't think of another aircraft from that era that would even look close. From what I can read online, the Yak 3m was a superior aircraft to just about everything in the sky especially at lower altitudes. The Germans pretty much refused to engage with these aircraft.

I am sure there is a caption for this somewhere but I just cannot come up with one.

Looks like another "sacred" 63 with special edition white walls. Notice how they match her little nun uniform.

The original Spitfire low pass video. Plug your kids ears. Alain DeCadenet drops a couple “F” bombs.

We need to make an airplane thread so Murray can keep the “beauty” thread classic B/W pics of Corvettes.
