Michel--
That's an interesting pic of one wild-looking machine. I'd be interested to know where and when it was taken...is this the J7W that ultimately survived to join the NASM collection? I saw a J7W in what looked like its original paint in storage at Silver Hill twenty years ago. There can't have been many built in any case. Idle speculation...but one wonders how a latter-day J7W, perhaps fitted with a contraprop, would do at Reno...?
