The F7F Tiger Cat... "Bad Kitty"

It looks like an ME-262, flies like one too, but this is an Avia S-92. Basically, after the war was over, Czechoslovakia took the drawings and tooling jigs from Messerschmitt and put the jet into production for their own air-force, using it until the early 1950s.

​

Here's a two seat trainer version that they built.


The type was soon replaced with Russian aircraft; here's a Mig 15 in the foreground.

The German jet made it's way into American pop culture in this 1974 album cover.

"......He picks up a bus & throws it back down as He wades through the pillage towards the center of town..........Godzilla!!"
Different album, but what a baddassed song. The first album was my favorite of all however.
Love the tune "Last Days of May" about a deal gone bad and getting the bust.

Mainland or Okinawa?

I don't know for sure. Probably somewhere near Iwakuni. I don't know enough about Japan to know where that is.
