wow, a gas station with a fighter plane on top, and sponsoring a little league team! (Norman Rockwell should have painted this!)

  1. Is that prop spinning?

    1. Probably, the canopy is open, so, maybe the owner was rolling it over for effect? Or maybe it freewheels to indicate wind speed? the kids aren't paying any attention to what would be awfully loud exhaust, so the engine isn't running, and the banners seem to be droopy, not whipping around due to propwash

  2. These days it wouldn't be "safe" for the little cream puffs to stand on the ground for a picture, in fact the picture would be a problem because of invasion and privacy. I love it that these kids could stand on a canopy 8 feet off the ground and no one worried about it. In the end it makes all the difference.

  3. Can you imagine the grannie state people today letting someone put all those kids up on that ledge at least 10 feet off the ground?
