Nice! Huntress III used to be displayed in our museum. The owner, Bob Converse took it back to Shafter Airport about a year ago. It was a real beauty.

You could say my siggy looks Stirling! Ok that was a DREADFUL pun

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Hmmm, I thought it was a Halibag...


I always thought the gear legs were too stalky and tall...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nah the Halifax is much uglier 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

The plane that is, not the city.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ok, there is 4 Halifaxes. The plane, the Canadian City, The British City and my building society The plane is ugly though

 

[Nonskimmer]

But not the Canadian city.

This is my favorite one even though it is not exactly quite a WW2 plane. I present you with the massive B-36 Peacemaker parked next to a B-29. Look at the size difference.

 

[evangilder]

It is a monster! Nice to see it next to a B-29 for size comparison. I remember when they built the AF museum in Ohio, they originally has the B-36 outside, then decided to move it inside. The doors in were definitely not big enough and they had to open up the side of the building to get it in there!

Hmm, only a P-51 and a Kurier-type aircraft missing there to won the World Press Photo...

But if you compare this one with nowadays civilian aircraft - she'd be a smaller sister.

 

[evangilder]

Not really a smaller sister.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

how dare you say the halibag was ugly!!!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Why does everyone call it the Halibag, it sounds lame

 

[Pisis]

evan, I thought the B-29, of course...

 

[evangilder]

Sorry, my bad. Yes, the B-29 was big in it's day, but today doesn't seem so large.
