Had a grandmother lived life full until 98. A Rosie on the line at Bell in Buffalo NY where the P39 Airacobra/P63 Kingcobra rolled out. Stuck a snapshot in a birthday card of a static display hangered at Chino, CA. I said "that's some barrel under the spinner." She answered matter-of-factly as with everything else in her time; "oh, the cannon." Mentioned more than once all the great parties 'Larry' would throw for the gang. Also how often co. pilots bought it, proving & testing. Crazy this happens so long after. Sad never ages.
