Reminds me of the old Stapleton Airport in Denver.

This week a balancing act on USS Charger

A four plane division of VMF-323 "Death Rattlers" and the P-38 photo plane swing in low toward the Kushi-Take target, a Japanese strong-point in central Okinawa. The F4U's are carrying fire-bombs and rockets. The P-38 with the photographer in the belly flies wing on the division. The target is the high peak in the background.

Another F6F-5 Hellcat aircraft of VF-83 of the USS Essex, this week with some cool nose art.
The pilot was E. B. Davis.

This week an A-20B "Boston" of 3rd Squadron of the 8th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment, 221st Bomber Division 16th Air Army of the 1st Belorussian Front and its crew:
- Navigator - Guard Lieutenant Alexei Shalyutin;
- Pilot - Guard Lt. Alexander Suchkov;
- Gunner - Guards Sergeant Ivan I. Mikhaylov;
- Gunner - Guard Sergeant Ilya ****ntievich Popugaev.
On December 15, 1943 the team were on a recon mission with the objective to establish the number of tanks, artillery and enemy soldiers in the Garmovichi, Korotkovichi region during "Citadel" they were engaged by six 109's, managing too shoot one down, and although heavily damaged,made it back too base with the information.
All were highly decorated.

Three this week showing gantry's used for drop tests, probably San Diego.

BONUS

Looks like one of my landings.

Lol, nice parking! Getting her up on the nose like that must take true skill

This weeks photo a Grumman factory release of a F4F-4 Wildcat with test pilot "Corky" Meyer demonstrating the deployment of the pilots life raft taken on November 19, 1942.

Just catching up on these and spotted E.B. Davis Hellcat 115 with its skull motif. As you say a cool scheme and subject of an equally cool skin by that master of P.T.O. skins, Ronnco. He even captures the white over-spray left when the masking tape was removed after spraying on the tail markings. Superb stuff, sadly he doesn't seem to be skinning these days.
