Dunno where you were Forkie but Big Dick M. looks like he was there doing some dusting.


Hey that Water Tank at Capella is in a REAL GREAT spot isn't it???

I couldn't belive it was there either. Got a great shot of it on rotation but can't post it here.

As a result of all the global warm.......excuse me, SNOW falling in Washington DC several hangars have suffered roof collapses.

Now that would be kinda funny - if it wasn't kinda sad!

Real sad, - lovely looking machines.
Why isn't snow like that falling at Vancouver for the Winter Olympics?

[Capt Fathom]

That is going to be expensive !!

Coz they didn't invite Spotted Al Gore to come and talk about his scam.

Tailwheel G5? I like it.....

Vancouver olympics moved to DC. Those hangars would make for almost decent half pipes

Spotted Al doesn't own an aircraft, he charters.

Sometimes you just have to do what it takes.

Drive it like you stole it



And one to upset the tree hugging environmentally conscious namby pamby pilots of today, you know who you are!

I know it's not Dunnunda but, inspired by Capson's video link to the guy landing on the logging road I thought I'd go looking for the games we used to play in our toys (when we were young, slim and had hair). During a stint with the septics I spent many a happy hour or two playing on Lyman Road and, fortunately, someone posted a link on UTube to some of our antics. It was quite a lot narrower than it looks, mainly because you had to keep the outriggers on the road and, as LSSs (Landing Site Supervisors), we had to stand in the middle of the road until the last moment to make sure Chuck had the correct line-up.

Happy Days

PS: If you don't like noisy, military stuff; tough

I stumbled across this again recently and though it worth posting for those newbies who may not have seen it before.

I spent 20 yrs wanting to see Bob Hoover do his thing in the Shrike. I got my chance at Oshkosh in 99, but unfortunately, along side some of the totally "in your face" displays such as the Gee Bee, BD5, Jimmy Franklin's jet engined Waco, and Oracle - poor old Bob was boring as bat****!

exceptional flying....but truth be told...I couldn't NOT stare at the size of his nose.

[P51D]

Well you'd be the first bloke I've ever heard say BH was as boring as bat****, but then again I suppose all the comparatives you drew were pouring chinese tea during their manouvers were they. Chuck Yeager thought he was pretty good but you probably think he's in the same category as BH. Mind boggling!

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

P51D, have you seen BH fly his routine in the flesh? The problem for me in the company he was keeping at Oshkosh was that it took him so long to actually do anything. Its much better on edited film. His area of operation for his routine is so big because of the radius of his loops, turns etc that you loose sight of him and could go get a cup of tea before he returns to centre stage.

I did not question his skills - just expressed a disappointment in the impact of his routine, in that company - after 20 yrs of looking forward to seeing it!

Interestingly:

"in your face" displays such as the Gee Bee, BD5, Jimmy Franklin's jet engined Waco, and Oracle

The Gee Bee is retired - smart enough to call it quits before it killed him. Don't know about the BD5. Jimmy Franklin is dead! Oracle is smashed to bits!

Maybe that says something about Bob!

P51D.. You can't see someone pouring tea in a shrike(while performing a 1G roll), from the ground, unfortunately.
