Air show pix from Rome Ga. and the hottest fighter pilot I ever saw.....

yeah cool, I'd love to see those shots of the A26 with the turrets.

[Klinger]

I dont know much about the A26. Is that right that one version had 14 forward firing 50 cals ?

Man, I'd like to see that thing strafing something!

I know...think of the friendlies BG could kill with that thing.

Yeah, one of the B-26 (the 'K"?) had a 8 gun nose and 3 in each wing, plus the 2 turrets yet. Plus rockets and bombs; used in Vietnam.

Yeah, the version in the pix here had the original 6 gun nose, but by 45 they had a new nose like the B-25 with 8 guns, which went rather well with teh 6 wing guns. the Onmark verisons they used in Nam had the turrets deleted. They were used very well in Nam in the early days before the AA became too thick for it. they had tip tanks added and the wings strengthened.

BTW, I was hunting these shots of Carla and I figured you guys would tolerate these last two. They were taken when she came home from Basic for the first time. In less than 7 mos she's be in Saudi. She has a unique way of dressing for housework. heh heh.
