Default Re: Aircraft pics

From an old airplane magazine. Clay Lacy, in his DC-7 "Super Snoopy," races a dragster during the 1971 San Diego Cup airshow. In those days there were 1,000-mile air races and some of the guys thought that the prop-liners, with their speed and fuel capacity, were the way to go. Lacy came in 6th at the 1970 Mojave 1000 in this airplane but was not allowed to race at San Diego because the WWII fighter guys complained about the wake turbulence from the DC-7.
