My warbird pictures

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

thanks the story of the Fw 190 A3 "blac 3" ( yes that is me in the cockpit ) is that it was salvaged back in the 80`s after it bellylanded in a mountain during the war in Norway..It was partelly restored in Texas..then back to Norway..and again back to USA in 2004 for completion ( at white one foundation )
It will be static and will be displayed in Bodø museum in Norway from january 2010 ( incuded a picture when we flew the Fw 190 back to USA with a C-130..that was a loooong flight from Norway

flying the B-17 was real fun ( and yes..got a direct hit there after the bombsight picture..hehe )

i will post more pictures of the B-17 when it was under restoration if that is of any interest.. just need to scan a "few" paperpics here.. lol

also tons of detailpictures of the Fw 190 if that is of any interst.. just looking thru some more here

the Ar 196 at garber is a nice one i would like tosee restored ( its from Prinz Eugen..and also attached is a never published picture of it taken during the war. its the same aircraft

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

a few more different birds from here and there

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

ups..those two last one was wrong..should have been some more from Garber..
and also a picture of the Fw 190 cockpit during restoration. and ofcourse while one is in Kissimee one has to fly some T-6`s as well

and while at it in Florida..highly recomended to visit Stallion 51 and get a ride with lee laudercak and his Crazy Horse TF-51 Mustang ( awsome and fun..best machine i ever flown )
some paperpics and some digital..so quality differs

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

SORRY ( Lee lauderback is the name..sometimes my keybords just jam and mess up things )

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

and here is my two favorites that i ahev framed on my wall..forgive me for posting these..i never had the guts to go public with the earlier..

the first PUBLIC VIEW is how most people see a aircraft at a airshow.. and that is a nice girl sitting there on the cowling..

the second i call PILOT`S VIEW..and it shows you all the advatages one has when beeing able to get in a cockpit..

hope i havent offended anybody with these two pictures.. i took them nay years ago..never shared them and the only ones who has seen them are those that has visited me..

Catch22 · Jul 23, 2009

I'm not offended. Great pics Mr. G!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jul 23, 2009

Great pics!

I can only imagine the flight in a C-130 back to the states. The longest I have flown in one was 4 hours and that sucked enough.

Bucksnort101 · Jul 23, 2009

You should have had someone start turning that big old prop from the bottom as they sat up there. Bet it would have made them jump off in a hurry, that is after you snapped that view from the cockpit picture

P.S. Looks like whomever took the first picture caught you in the act of taking your pilots view picture

DBII · Jul 23, 2009

looks like a breaking news report in the making.

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

Junkers88A1 · Jul 23, 2009

how the lufthansas Ju 52 D-AQUI should look.. but dont.. these are from a movie that was made in Norway some years ago and the aircrafts in the museum was used

Geedee · Jul 24, 2009

Thats a great little treasure trove of pics you have my friend, many thanks for posting.

So how many Warbirds have you had flights in ?

evangilder · Jul 24, 2009

Nice! Is that a flyable He-111?

BikerBabe · Jul 24, 2009

OMG, was that Max Von Sydow in that last pic, in the back seat of the car???
What's the title of the movie?

Anyway, thanks for sharing - I love the shot of you in that plane, turned upside-down - it would make a nice avatar for you.
Plus it's great to see the care and effort ppl make in order to keep the old planes flying and/or in good condition.
It's good to know that someone cares enough to put in the time, the effort and the money.

I love the Liberty belle series of pics that you made, the tail shot is a fave of mine, plus the gun/bomb sight pic. Thumbs up!

Yeah, that He-111 looks nice. Great set of pictures you have here.
