• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

When I first saw this photo, I had to study it a minute as something looked odd about the paint job...it's oil!

The crew looks miserable. Hope they made it home safe.

They made it. :salute: I remember this photo from one of my old Squadron Signal 'In Action' books. You can see the gunner looking for stuff to chuck overboard in this photo.
