peer01 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hawkins & Powers had to withdraw their fleet of airtankers after 2 crashes (C-130 and PBY2-Airtanker 123) in 2002. The end of the 4-engined warbirds era, this bird made it's last flight in 2003. I'm glad with this repaint of Manfred Jahn's excellent C-97 model. A local flight from Abbotsford, to get familiair with low and slow flying with this big prop.

KCD Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 That is a lumbering giant for sure, I'm surprised you were able to even get it airborne and that you didn't splash in the lake. Great shots and wonderful scenery, Jan, super post as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCD Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Oh, I forgot about the natural born airman thingy. There have been so many splashes I assumed you and your aircraft were attracted to it like ducks are, my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCD Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm sorry, Your Highness, I did mean to apologize for forgetting about the natural born airman thingy! It's just that I remember so many of your pieces of cake ending up in the water somewhere. I'm sure both Adam and Mr. Zippy will confirm your proclivity to take a swim whole still in the cockpit of one of your exotic airships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
