Formation flight Sunday. RP-63As. “The USAAF used the P-63 as target aircraft to train gunners in bombers in aerial gunnery. These RP-63As are fitted with a thicker skin, extra armor, thicker cockpit glass, a redundant pitot system, and a modified air intake on the spine to make them survivable against the frangible bullets fired at them by the gunners.
