Thanks for posting, Alan. This is a wonderful image, a mystic  
convergence of the technological and the natural, the military and the  
serene.

No trouble telling just where in the P-38's fuselage the camera is  
located!
It looks like the picture was made near high noon in a tropical clime,  
with the sun smack overhead.

This is worthy of memorialization in the US Air Force Museum or the  
Smithsonian Museum of Flight. You might consider contacting them.
