About
This aluminum airplane is reminiscent of the World War II-era Flying Tigers of the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG).
The shark mouth was based on an original painting on a Luftwaffe’s ZG heavy fighter wing, which was part of the Messerschmitt Bf 110s. Later, this design was used by the Allied fighter squads, such as the Flying Tigers. Allegedly, the squadrons saw a picture of the No. 112 Squadron's P-40s, which flew for the Royal Air Force, and adopted their logo.
This plane sits out front of a local business. If you visit around the holidays, you may be fortunate enough to see it decorated.
