Photo Comment

Taxying along the downhill taxiway, this Warhawk is proudly presenting its sharkmouth to the airshow crowd. 15 years later I took another picture of this aircraft in a different colourscheme. In 1995 this Warhawk was damaged in a forced landing due to engine failure. After a 21 months restoration time it is now again an active member of the warbird scene in the States.
