Please don't hit me, TW, but I think it is because he can't fly.....

#32  My Old Man used to fly Beavers when he was in the Army.

Seriously. Beavers. You could look it up.

Kind of small at 500pixles wide per photo but look at photos in background in this ww-ii photo.

#25  Rambler:

I'm afriad I'll be referring you to the Rantburg IG's office for the mention of this sexist practice. I would recommend you block your schedule for the inevitable sensitivity training sessions.

#24  My dad was a ground crewman for B-24's in WWII. One of his best friends was very artistic, and did the nose art for several planes in the unit. Of course, today, those pictures would be banned for being at least R-rated.
Do they even do nose art on planes anymore?

#23  Now that's funny.

#21  3dc You're absolutely on target. There is nothing like a good set of Radial Engines. Doesn't that Twin Beach prop pitch motor cover (spinner) look a little long and hard. I wonder why?

I Love Airplane Noise
Between the raspy growl of an old radial or the whiff of burnt JP in the morning, i don't even have time to think about anything else (well except for scantily-clad wimmins posing by 'em)

#15  3dc, No I just love aircraft and their accessories. I flew back seat in the Marine Corps and one of my good friends restores WWII fighters. He did a couple of P-40s and a Mustang. Flew one of the P-40s in the Movie 1941 and raced a Yak-11 at Reno. He also did some P-40 flight scenes in the Pearl Harbor movie a few years ago. Here is his latest project, F4F Wildcat:



When his planes were on static display he would put a sign on the control panel that read: Rides - Gas, A$$ or Grass

Wonderful planes!
The tourism site you got that stew shoot from is interesting too.

Do you have anything to do with it?

#13  After further review it looks like the last aircraft is a little tail heavy. But, what the heck, a good pilot can handle a tailspin and once you get her trimmed you can sit back and enjoy the ride.
