a Sea Hurricane

How did you determine which was a sea hurricane? I looked for a tail hook.

What have it away?

Look in front of the tail wheel on the lead a/c. You can just see the hook.

 

[Wonderer67]

Ah yes. It’s painted white. I was looking for something that might be more contrasting and a dead giveaway.

Good eyes!!

Also, the camo colors are not the usual green and brown

I’m sorry for getting nit picky but the red one is a called a TriPacer. I have one and grew up with it. It was my dads. And actually, the blue one started life as a TriPacer but was converted to tailwheel at some point. I can tell by the back window. All original Pacers had rounded back windows.

These were such good looking planes.

...until they disintergrated in mid air.

*Shrug* any landing you walk away from is a good one

I dont think his commanding officer will see it that way.
