Which was not only impossible, given the era of the aircraft (authentically, anyway), but impossible to see from that shot.

I believe what you're trying to say is that the nose was glass, as in a nose turret. ;)

It's a Havoc alright!

Specifically, it appears to be an A-20G.

Spoilsport - Just when I was about to convince him it was a P-70!

Felix, it might be a P-70, modified to look like an A-20G. :)

It certainly isn't standard and the main recognition feature of the G is the widened fuse to take the turret...which is not visible in this angle.

It might even have been a foreign bird or Navy. :)

I think it's a re-engined IL-28 painted to look like an A-20..

The aircraft in question is in fact an A-20G Havoc.  This aircraft was once owned by the Confederate Air Force befor being completely destroyed  in a crash when pilot Max Gardner suffered a heart attack while at the controls in Oct. 1988.
