I'll post a photograph taken that day along with a thought or two. I may share some photos from the past as well.

#115) Vintage WWII Fighter Plane
I believe this is a WWII, Grumman Hellcat, fighter plane. It's home is right in front of my favorite Mexican joint, Casa Muchado, right on Montgomery field municipal airport.
That is a T-6 Texan which was a trainer aircraft. Although, these have been painted to look like Japanese aircraft because they are non-descript enough. This one is painted up to look like a World War II Navy Aircraft.
The Hellcat is the second plane in this series: http://michiganexposures.blogspot.com/2009/12/more-models-naval-aviation.html
