Wes....what is really impressive is that you have a Walt Cunningham autographed Saturn 1b.....:bangbang:...now that is something!
these are great pics Dlazarus...thanks for posting...that F-8 is just a beautiful plane!
Aerostadt....she looks awesome! beautiful work!
beautiful pictures Talon!
that P-47 is just sweet! the P-38 looks awesome too....looks like an early version of the 38?
Bear....beautiful job on this A-6....just looks fantastic!
Paul....would love to see you build that B-17! that would be awesome!!
Fred...I think you are right about the Hellcat kill ratio...it was something like 19:1
Fred..great call on the Swordfish! I built a model of the Swordfish years ago...I like its paint scheme with the white fuselage and the camo on top.
I took my son to watch an air show at the old Willow Grove Naval Air station in Pa, has to be about 10 years ago, he was 7 or so...the Thunderbirds flew that day.....it was really hot that day and he...
Paul...you did a beautiful job on your F-105...it looks awesome!
Talon...agree...the crews were not too happy with the HellDiver's performance in the earlier models. I think the skipper of the Yorktown, Jocko Clark, decided to replace his air group with...
Fred...agree 100% on the Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancs.....also throw in the Mosquito...that plane was gorgeous! I always loved the Lancaster's paint scheme.
also..the Helldiver is a neat looking...
beautiful work! you did an awesome job on your Mars Lander....that is a fun kit to build and fly!
you got to fly in the back seat of a Mustang! That plane is just beautiful.
I never realized that so much was involved in flying these planes....heck....it sounds like a struggle just to get them here! then you have go find spare parts or fabricate parts....
that must have been awesome! sorry for the obvious question...any favorites?
Paul...your answer and Talon's make perfect sense....the FAA is not going to allow someone to fly if they are not qualified (and funded it sounds like...)
Bear...that is funny!
My son and I just watched the Battle of Britain again last week...I have it on DVD. great flick!
holy smokes..I knew it had to be expensive, but $4000 an hour? Holy crap!
what warbirds were you around? did you own one?
I love the old planes and I guess I appreciate the effort and devotion it...
Daddy....some future builds coming from you??? would be sweet!
Richard....I knew they flew as Thunderbirds but I didn't know it was only for 6 shows...did they go to the F-4? or back to the F-100? too big for the aerobatics?
Paul....I have heard of nose art....but your 105 takes it to another level! neat camo scheme for her too. The F-105 is just a cool looking plane. I really would like to make some plastic airplanes...
Talon....why does the FAA restrict certain planes from being restored to flight? I know the F-104 had a checkered history, but it did soldier on in NATO for many years. are some types considered too...
it looks incredible! I wish I would have some place to put that thing once it was done!
sounds like an awesome day Hornet! awesome pictures. What a great museum!
what a GREAT birthday present!! that will be an awesome day!
a 1/32 B-17?? that is going to be huge!
Hornet,
is that a Mig-15 sitting out there awaiting restoration? and behind the ol Skymaster, what are those large triangular shapes standing in the corner?
agree Bill...the Tony was a sweet looking plane! I love the Japanese paint schemes too.
F-105 wild weasel...I always liked the F-105...just a nasty looking plane....cool stuff!
