Captured? But still retains its original markings.

I don't think I have ever seen a Picture of a Loire-Nieuport 40 taking off of the Bearn before; Source the internet.

Interesting Picture, I don't remember seeing many pictures of D3A's with centerline external fuel tanks mounted before.

She was ahead of her time!😉

Greg that looks normal to my eye's ;) I mean for a steel accordion or bellows production Line! I gave it Bacon as for once it isn't one of my machines acting up!

Unfortunately It looks very much like the AA Chicago Crash. The engine is designed to flip up over the wing during separation from excessive vibration. But it is designed to separate from the pylon, not with the pylon.

Yes they do Zippy, but the picture states it is a He162 underground production line. So yes not Me262's. But I do the same thing all the time, but usually someone posts a comment about what I think I see before I get around to posting my reactions. No worries.

do I see search Radar antenna's on the nose and under the wings?

Also the DC-10 (and I assume the MD-11) Leading edge slats are cable operated, when the AA's engine and pylon separated from the wing it also tore out the LE slat actuating cables on the left wing, so in addition to the loss of the #1 engine and the resulting asymmetrical thrust that it caused...

No argument from me, I never endorsed the practice, I just stated that UA & AA used that procedure for years. We never used it at NWA that I am aware of, but the DC-10's preceded my employment by about 8-10 years. If anyone is interested in the rear pylon mounting bushing and Bolt that were...

And also some recon versions of the Bf110, and Ju388’s.i am lass sure they were mounted on some Ju86R’s but i seem to remember that some were

Triphibian!

The AA DC-10 Crash was caused by a non approved Maintenance procedure, the MD approved procedure was to remove the engine from the Pylon, remove the Pylon, inspect the Pylon mounting brackets, reinstall the pylon if no issues were found, then install the engine on the pylon. AA and United both...
