Very cool video, that is quite a production for a couple of Junior B Teams.

Love how these threads can wander around and yet it all makes sense! Hockey to beer can models very cool.

Here is another one that goes a little off track.

Looks like four Allison aircraft engines. Reminds me of Tommy Ivo's "Showboat" dragster that ran four nailhead Buick V8's.

Ah yes the old C-46. Every startup a challenge, every takeoff a protest, and every landing a miracle.

Makes much more sense to me that if you're going to war in one of these, I would rather have the targets painted on the ends of the wings than smack dab in the middle of the fuselage... JMO

Amazing story of this Crew and their Halifax Bomber. They collided with another bomber over Paris, France and still managed to make it home. Google it, copyrighted story by York Press, looks like it might be an issue to post the link.

Hey Eric.. what type of jet fighter is this?

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Randy pretty sure it is the "next" generation of the Fokker the Baron flew...

you do realize Randy that regardless of whether the Wright brothers are trying to get it off the ground or it's full of helium and says Happy Birthday on it, I'm going to call it an F35 from here on in.... Occasionally I will be correct... Today I feel good....lol

Eric just testing on this "feel good day". What do you suppose this one is (hint just go ahead and say it!)
