Oh don't give me a P-39.
The one with the engine behind.
It will tumble and roll.
It will dig a big hole.
Oh don't give me a P-39.

You're just not used to having a big shaft between your legs.

No, not really. Also, the design of the aircraft turned out to be very inconvienient to the pilot. Everything that the designers tried to make better, they actually made worse. It is really a very sad failure if I do say so myself.
