Actually A24-362 was fitted with the later Ryan (twin 30s) turret. We are working on it.

I meant that it has ANY turret….not a smooth nose!
The differences between actual turret types is out of my expertise level 🙂

Are they possibly the most common airworthy multi engine combat warbird (not a transport) out there?

Third only to the Mustang/Spitfire overall? ?

Good baj, but were the photos stills only or were they taken from a Go-Pro? Video from the wing tip position would be good to see.:)
