42-67762 (cn 422-2273) U.S. aviation museums are used to display their aircraft in immaculate conditions, like the Hawker Hurricane seen in the background. However, I find it is sometimes nice to see a preserved airplane with many scars –as this Lightning-, which shows it had gone through a real, tough life in the skies. |
