A former WWII fighter finds new life in civilian hands. This Bell P-63 Kingcobra, identifiable by its distinctive dorsal air scoop and mid-fuselage engine layout, wears the civil registration N7700C after passing out of military service. Aircraft like this were snapped up by private owners and air racers in the years following the war, often sharing ramp space - as seen here - with surplus North American T-6 Texan trainers at general aviation fields across the country.
