[cheddar cheese]

Not the biggest fan of the B-58 ever but yes, it is a nice picture 8)


Here's a beauty of a plane, the F-86 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

Indeed!
Sabres were also licence built in Canada by Canadair, with the Orenda series of engines. Besides the RCAF, some of these were flown by the West German Luftwaffe, and a few were flown by the RAF.

Very nice plane, could have done with better armament than those 6 .50 against the Migs in Korea

 

[JCS]

Heres a good looking plane I almost completely forgot about, the Henschel Hs123.....

 

[DaveB.inVa]

The He-177 looked quite similar to the B-29, the fact that the former had rubbish engines is beside the point

Only the first engines were problems. The later engines operated much better.

The B-29 did not have the best engines either with numerous failures and fires.

Same way with the R-3350's on the B-29 too. Early versions were very prone to overheating, most didnt make it to 100 hrs. By the end of the war they had improved very very much with most have a TBO over 500 hrs.

After the war the R-3350 became one of the most reliable airliner engines available.

 

[DaveB.inVa]

Pretty slick!

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'll say! Great pic!

 

[mosquitoman]

Is the other nuke-carrying B-29 still about? It's called Bock's Car

 

[DaveB.inVa]

Yeah, Bockscar is at Wright Patterson AFB.

 

[mosquitoman]

Thanks, just wondering

 

[trackend]

Thats a great picture there Dave really shows her off

 

[NightHawk]

[the lancaster kicks ass]

nice pic........

 

[cheddar cheese]

It is actually isnt it... *saves*

 

[wmaxt]

An airplain that transforms itself is the B-52 thier so ugly on the ground they are called BUFFs " Big Ugly Fat F#####" but about half way down the runway the wings start to fly and it becomes very graceful.

 

[Nonskimmer]

That X-36 looks cool! Strange, but cool.

 

[mosquitoman]

I thought it was Big Ugly Fat Fellow, or is that just the censored version?

 

[cheddar cheese]

I think its a great looking plane, on the ground or in the air.

 

[wmaxt]

I thought it was Big Ugly Fat Fellow, or is that just the censored version?

Yup.
