AIR SHOW WARBIRD:
Photo shows Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, this a/c
was built in 1945, and restored, its flying today with the Commemorative Air Force.
Aircraft is base in Graham, Texas USA.
The aircraft saw service with the USAAF, as the A-25A Shrike.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW:
If you look close at the pilot, he's not in WWII U.S. Navy flight gear, and he's wearing a modern headset w/cushion headpads w/boom microphone on left side of headset.

This SB2-C was flying with VB-80 off the USS Hancock (CV-19) in Feb 1945 principally in raids against the Home Islands and Iwo Jima (or is a replica thereof).
