Aircraft

Actually it`s a WWII Harvard trainer.The picture was taken at the airport where pilots were trained for the war. That one crashed into the lake on a training run. It was brought up by some veteran airmen and was restored and put on that monument. It is in front of the Air Force Club that is located at the airport.Ya it looks even better in person.

I wanted this spoiler to give it a little more panache in the closed position, but didn't try it because it looked like it might be a chore to incorporate it while keeping the "tombstone" for high speed stability. Now I'm glad.
No offense to those who have gone this route, but the photo showing the 2 side by side in the closed position actually flows better with the oem version to my eye. Would never have thought this until the side-by-side comparison. The 986 has a pretty classic rear end, with nice lines, reminding me of some of the classic automotive beauties of all time. (Think Jaguar). Anyway, I'm now not so sure that a$$ needs a bustle...

With PartWeave's wing redesign it could have been a high speed fighter instead of a trainer. lol

As a private pilot, I think I recognize that plane from the Kingston, ON (CYGK) airport.
