Bij het opsturen van deze (en veel meer) schitterende plaatjes verontschuldigde Erik Zwaan zich dat hij er bijna een jaar over gedaan had - maar met een drukke baan en dito gezin kunnen we alleen maar vol bewondering kijken naar de tijd en concentratie die er dan toch overbleven! Het gaat hier om de Lockheed P38-H Lightning van Halisky, 1:33 - en elke enigszins ervaren bouwer weet hoe veeleisend de modellen van die uitgever zijn! Prachtig!

indigo armstrong, twenty nine, fighter pilot

born three months before the start of the great war, indigo spends childhood nestled in a quiet suburb in seattle with his family. he's the oldest of three, the only boy and brother to juniper and, eventually, willow. joseph and adelaide are self proclaimed free spirits and vehement objectors to war in all forms, opposing wilson's call to join the war in 1917. joseph chooses farm labour in another state over enlisting in an attempt to avoid imprisonment for failure to serve.

adelaide takes on parenting indigo and his sister on her own in the absence of joseph but two young children take their toll and things are hard all around. joseph returns a few months after the signing of the armistice, in early 1919, and the family attempts to settle back into the life they'd known. they welcome a third child, another daughter, and decide their family is complete.

the twenties roll by with relatively little fanfare, a move is contemplated in the midst of it in an attempt to stave off using whatever savings they've got to their name but the 30s present a new obstacle and times get even toughter than they had been. indigo turns 16 by the spring of 1930 and starts working wherever they'll let him to start contributing to the household where his father, or mother, cannot. they struggle, pinch pennies and move into smaller and smaller places.

by 1939, indigo is 25 and somewhat transient. much of his time between '32-'39 is spent travelling and working wherever anyone will have him and sending the money back to his family so they can survive. he picks up a steady, long term job as a mechanic on planes and eventually learns to fly them when he's got some downtime.

his parents are furious when he joins the air foce and even moreso when he tells them he's being sent overseas to join the war effort. he knows they'll come around, eventually, and maybe only when the war is over but it sucks, in the moment, for them to decide to stop talking to him, almost pretending like he doesn't exist. he doesn't enjoy the war or think it's right but it feels like the only option and he realizes that flies in the face of everything they'd taught him so he supposes he doesn't blame them but, still.

it's a stable, steady job and, for a time, he doesn't regret it. he flies a single seater, lockheed p38 lightning for a simple fact that he trains on it, he knows it like the back of his hand, and he doesn't want to be responsible for getting anyone but himself back home when all is said and done. he spends the early days of the war flying missions over italy in the mediterranean theater before being transferring to western europe in september '43 where he's been flying escort missions with flying fortresses from the 8th.

indigo is the exact person you want on your side. he's unshakeable, for the most par, always having a level head and the ability to think logically where that might fail with others. he prides himself on being the kind of person everyone can rely on for some perspective.

he does tend to let loose and have fun when he's not flying missions and is stuck on base for whatever reason but he's also a very chill person. he'll go for a drink or a night off at the club but he knows his limits and generally doesn't push them.

(unless david is involved.)

he's a restless sort on the worst days and leans impulsive when he's bored or Very Sure of something (see: his marriage to eliza after 2 months of knowing her) but doesn't see that as a shortcoming.

despite however kept together he may appear on the outside and how little seems to shake him, he's not at all at ease with the war. he compartmentalizes and turns off his guilt by saying it's a job. it's a job and when he's done, he gets to go home to his wife and he never wants to get involved in anything like this again.

This USAF Heritage Flight is full of some serious apex predator action. Each of these types were flown by the highest scoring US aces of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Richard Bong scored 40 victories fighting in the Pacific with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning as his mount. Joseph McConnell scored 16 victories in the skies over Korea flying the North American F-86 Sabre as his steed. And in Vietnam Steve Ritchie and his WSO, Charles DeBellevue, flew as a crew on the F-4D and F-4E Phantom with 5 victories. DeBellevue flew as WSO for another pilot who scored a victory, so sometimes DeBellevue is credited with 6 victories. Another USAF pilot, Jeffrey Feinstein, also scored 5 victories but had a different WSO each time. In the Navy, Randy Cunningham and his RIO (Radar Intercept Officer as opposed to the USAF’s Weapons System Officer) Willie Driscoll scored 5 victories flying the F-4J Phantom. | October Aviation Photo Challenge | @kjdphoto1971 | #1017planes | “Aces High” | Day 12 | #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #FortWorth #AllianceAirShow #airport #Texas #FWAAS2012 #FWAAS12 #avgeekery #avgeekschoolofknowledge #Lockheed #P38 #Lightning #NorthAmerican #F86 #Sabre #McDonnellDouglas #F4 #Phantom #USAF #HeritageFlight #mil_aviation_originals #instaaviation #Avgeekery #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport)
