Nice shots Eric! Great website too! When are you going to make it out to the airport again? The P-51 is back, it flew in Saturday. It should stay at the hangars for a few weeks. Eric

Thanks Eric. I took those shots I posted with my small camera I keep in my pocket, works good for unexpected photo oportunities. Good to hear you will be getting your new camera soon. I think you told me it will be a SLR. What size of telephoto lens will you get/use? I use 300 mm. It...

I think I fixed the picture problem.

Nice shots Eric! It was a good day out there yesterday! Cold for almost the whole day, but when any flying takes place, its fun! Here are some shots I got yesterday. Jason Somes's AT-6D and Chris Rushing's SNJ-4. SNJ-4 "Sugarfoot" won bronze at Reno 2005. A view of the A6M3 Zero...

Those drawings are absolutely amazing! It really looks like 3D from these pictures. Thanks for sharing! Eric

Correct! The top one is Palm Springs. Thats the Palm Springs Air Museum. And I'm sure that one was easy for you syscom, you are located in Orange County. :wink: Eric

Ok, can you indentify where and what is in the following two pictures... I'll give you one hint, they are in Southern California... Eric

We have a winner! Anyone up for another google earth quiz? Eric

I thought more people would be able to indentify this. This is a easy quiz! You are correct, this located at Van Nuys Airport. But can you indentify what aircraft and aircraft group we are looking at in this picture? :lol: Eric

I know that P-51 insurance costs at least $16,000 per year. Eric

For you California guys, lets see if you can identify what and where this is... I blacked out the Latitude/Longitude to prevent cheating. Eric

Here are some shots of the Peashooter and Guardsman taken at Chino 1-21-06 by Britt Dietz. Eric

So I hear that The Air Museum is bringing back to life their Boeing P-26A Peashooter and Seversky AT-12 Guardsman for the show in May. I can't wait to see them fly. Eric

It would be stupid to risk the B-29 by flying it over the Atlantic. First of all it would cost a ton of money. Also, the B-29 is such a rare airplane, why take the risk. And, the R-3350s are not the most reliable engines, they like to sh*t on you, where a Pratt Whitney will shrug any problem...

I don't know if anyone else will fly it. I think most pilots are afraid to fly the Polikarpov, or as I call it "the ground looper". From what I hear it is a difficult plane to handle on the ground, including takeoff and landing. Especially landing, if you don't land just right it can...
