It would be an interesting look. Please let me see some photos of that beautifull plane. It would be an interesting look.

The 360-degree cockpit panoramas are one thing, and I've seen them too, but "walkarounds" are simply the product of an enthusiast walking all around, under and if possible on an airplane, taking snapshots of all sort of external details.

I have viewed those 360 degree views at several sites. They are a great modeling resource…provided they don’t make me airsick! ;-) Thanks, again!

Another good source of this kind of information, by the way--though it doesn't help here--is to Google "[airplane type] walkaround." Walkarounds are files full of detail snapshots of just about any warbird you can think of, typically taken at a museum or during a restoration, and they're intended for the use of detailed-scale-model builders who want to know exactly what the inside of a landing-gear door, or whatever, looks like.

I'm not positive--could be one of the other panels on that part of the greenhouse--but the fact that he did it, wherever the panel was, is from the pilot's own report of the forced landing.

What/where is this escape panel in the P-47? Google search yielded no results. Thanks! Hi…you stumped me with "…his only option was to worm through the small escape panel in the greenhouse…."
