Artist did a good job. How u gonna fix it though in 60 years when it looks like a C-119? Really tho, good tribute

If she stays in good shape, perhaps it will only look like a P-61...

I wonder if that '38 has dive recovery flaps fitted..
..might be running into compressibility/Vne/pull-out issues other-wise..

Re: Finally, A tattoo I can live with

'Target Fixation'..' Augerin` In'.. 'Boom 'n' Zoom'.. & ..'Event Horizon' .. those titles taken yet?

You know, for the caption contest..

& has she got a matching one in the dorsal postion?

If so, how `bout 'Turbo Boost'.. 'Spool me up'.. or ..' Waste Gate`s a Pumpin!`'..
