Yowsers! I would have spilled my tea! Good captures!

Very cool.Thanks for the history as well. Aircraft just looks Zippy!

Easy! Your Monitor is upside down! Sorry Jan- It is a great shot!

Refreshing photos. Looks great!

Thanks all. I've a penchant for unusual FAX flights. Matches up nicely with a loco cockpit.... :D

While the ebbs of the season, there is the inevitable change in airline schedules. I was fortunate enough to be paid to make a 737 transfer from Heathrow to Birmingham for a package company and learned a few things. I'm fine with DHL being chummy with World Travel Airlines, but goodness- did they not check their work out of the paint booth??? I thought the separation was FINE! And to be told so bluntly, there was no coupon for buy one landing get one free........ Well well, then I was brought in for tea, no bloody biscuits. See if I do contract work with them again! Bollocks! :pilot:

Back in the day, I believe the P-61 and the Twin Mustang had a faceoff and the Twins won. On another topic, per Wikipedia, some serious achievement..... Record-setting P-82B-NA 44-65168 "Betty Jo" taking off from Hickam Field, Hawaii, 27 February 1947. On 27 February 1947, P-82B 44-65168, named Betty Jo and flown by Colonel Robert E. Thacker, made history when it flew nonstop from Hawaii to New York without refueling, a distance of 8,129 km (5,051 mi) in 14 hr 32 min. It averaged 347.5 miles per hour (559.2 km/h). This flight tested the P-82's range. The aircraft carried a full internal fuel tank of 576 US gallons (2,180 l; 480 imp gal), augmented by four 310 US gal (1,173 l; 258 imp gal) tanks for a total of 1,816 US gal (6,874 l; 1,512 imp gal). Also, Colonel Thacker forgot to drop three of his external tanks when their fuel was expended, landing with them in New York.[4] It remains the longest nonstop flight ever made by a propeller-driven fighter, and the fastest such a distance has ever been covered in a piston-engined aircraft (the record for the longest unrefueled flight by a propeller-driven aircraft of any type is held by the Rutan Voyager). The aircraft chosen was an earlier "B" model powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin engines (see "Survivors" below).

These are just classic- good homage to MSFS with Meigs field. Another raising of the pegs for the Peer.....

Looking good! A P-61 kid!

Looks good!

Fantastic series of shots. Love it.

Great shots- In the Damned Yankee rotation, in the background are they C-123's? Really great.

VERY very good looking An-2. I'm on a teeter totter between the An-2 and C-47...... Your blue shows very well- an personally I enjoy the CCCP penchant for their pilots fans never having protective wire cages....... (Center last photo).

I figure it's a pretty great trade for a the scenery, aircraft and help I've received here.

fantastic shots- very different empennage on that Convair.

Enjoyed the shots! Think I'll have to run that route! Thanks

Your 35A shines! I am also looking forward to trying it out!

If I might suggest, WISE..........

Amazing work Thank you sincerely for all your efforts!
