Everytime I see an image of this plane, I can,t help thinking about the
Bob Stevens cartoon. "There I was" about when he was flying a P-38 and
had this funny looking thing pull up along side him and then zoom off
leaving him like he was standing still.

Am I remembering correctly ?

Thanks, Mitchell,

I wonder what the bail-out procedure was with this aircraft. Those props
could really ruin a man's day.

The Dornier 335 had a similar problem and the rear propeller had an
explosive bolt that sheared the propeller shaft. It also had explosive
bolts that separated the dorsal fin, which wouldn¢t have been necessary
with this plane.

Interesting Picture, the shape reminds me of some Horten Aircrafts.

Whats great is that this type is still flying. Here are a couple of
shots from Chino in 2004. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back this
year.
