Looking into the Mouth of a Flying Tiger

"Lope's Hope", a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Flying Tiger on display in the Boeing Aviation Hanger of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport.

Want to thank Mike Besant for taking a long drive to meet me at the Smithsonian Hazy Center for a few hours of photographic bliss among hundreds of historical aircraft. His knowledge of the center and the local area made for a very pleasant and enjoyable experience for this tourist turned travel photographer for the day.
