Didn't recognize him. Never would have thought he made it to Alcatraz.

[QUOTE=Alvin;5556034] Mike

For all your M/T fans found this too...
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...1&d=1459445222


Spent many hours at that track. Got my IHRA license there at the grand old age of fourteen.
Almost got decapitated there too. You can see the gates below the tower bridge, each gate controls the staging lanes. Had my Catalina parked in the lane waiting for my class round, so while waiting went over to the east side stands ( the ones visible ) to watch top fuel. Don't remember who's rail which was closest to a friend and myself sitting in the stands, anyroad this guys blower grenades coming just out of the hole and part of the blower lands in the row of seats behind us, the belt ( what was left of it ) lands at our feet. Ah, the days of fans seating near the action and now blower straps!

Looks like one of the Schneider Cup Racers from the 20s. Either a Supermarine or Macchi but I can't place the inverted gull wing?
Similar to these-

That's a Dewoitine HD780, a French seaplane prototype. You can see the French stripes on the tail/rudder.

You treed me on that one Mike. I knew it was very familiar to me but never guessed Dewoitine. There is a strong family resemblance to the D.520 fighter below.

Anyone want to submit what they think the fastest production fighter of the 2nd world war might be?

Well, this seems too obvious to be right but I'll throw it out there anyway... Me262? If not that, I would guess one of the other jet or rocket propelled German aircraft, although I'm not sure how many of them would be classified as fighters.
Perhaps the Me163 Comet.

I posted this one yesterday in the Judge thread and just today noticed the "HUSKY" Dealer name.
Anyone here know anything of or about Husky Pontiac Buick GMC Truck?
