adamb Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'll have some chicken, but I think I'll pass on the Peerhoven stale beer and cheese. :D Fantastic shots Larry!! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCD Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 You should have set that thing down in the lagoon, Larry, it's an embarrisment to the professional and skilled aviator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hi Folks, What a cool old plane - fantastic shots... I remember watching Ice Pilots and them stating how poorly the plane handled on the ground - many were lost...

Rupert Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Love That Paint!!:):) And so appropriate too. ;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 HA! I like this VERY much, brings back great memories...;):D Good to see a Curtiss in the most beautiful livery EVER again. Btw, about that bbq, last time I was there I had to run, they wanted me as their main dish, I only whistled to the daughter of the village chief. Was a near miss. Phew..:eek: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Great flight Larry!!!!! Super pictures of what is probably the only flyable plane for Peerhoven Air..... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I heard that! :mad: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks David, Adam, Scott and Michael. Klee His nibs' 8th cousin Felix von Peerhoven was the pilot, so no water landing, thankfully. Jan, I don't know what you were drinking, but the village chief's daughter is totally ugly! John B. there is another Peerhoven aircraft that still flies: Click to enlarge: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Oh my. Almost speechless. Inconspicuous, eh? Wait a minute, haven't I... no, surely not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Beauty, Elegance, Sophistication, Grace, (in the air) .... All things Peerhoven lacks. Great post! Cheese War Enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks Charl & Paul. Inconspicuous in the eyes of his Excellency is not always looked upon as inconspicuous. Also, The lack of elegance, grace and accomplished airmanship in the air is not representative of his capabilities on the ground and certainly not in the water! :p Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Larry, I whisteled to THAT girl :eek::eek: It was a bit dark...... :o Thanks for the typical Dutch picture of the von Peerhoven flagship! :D;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCD Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Oh, Larry, I'm not so sure; I heard that one went down in a wadi in Babalonia a few months ago; sank immediately, no survivors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's NOT true you hear! :mad: the local general at Babalonia airport confiscated my plane for a little while, after a small arguement about an Avgas bill and some drinks in the local bar. :rolleyes: I'll solve it soon. Btw, can you send me some money, just for a local charity fund. Yes? there are a lot of poor children here! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
