P-63 QM .15 racers Pictures
Here are a couple of P63 QM racers. I think one belonged to Greg Doe and the other was owned by Stu Richmond.
One had a regular tail and the other had a V-tail.

Dan, Once again thanks for the memories! The young man in the red shirt is my son Tom. He
will be 32 in a few months. I got a lot of grief on the V Tail, but it is authenic. Bell Aircraft built
at least 2 V Tailed prototypes, but could not interest the military, because piston powered
aircraft were on the way out, because of jets. Bell also built a swept wing P63 to study how they
worked, and to gain knowledge that could be applied to future jet designs. Greg

Hi Greg,
I thought that was your boy but wasn't sure so I figured if I posted it you could comment.
Man, do I miss seeing those little screamers rounding the pylons. Great times.
