Just curious, where is that B -17? I think I read there are only about a dozen still in existence.

Fort Myers Florida...2 Feb. 2010 at Page Field. This was the Collins Foundation Wings of Freedom Tour. We took the 30 minute flight on this B-17G and I will never be able to adequately describe the experience. I had a 10 minute ride up in the bombardier's seat as none of the other guests could fit up there. They also had flights available for the B-24 Witchcraft, a B-25 and a TF-51D Mustang. Rather expensive on retirement income but oh, so well worth it...Cheers

My finger prints are all over that Hurricane. Hope to get the engine going after fitting a new part when this virus thing allows the museum to open.

Here I was about 14 years ago, working on my first retirement project:

And then last year - a bit grayer, a bit fuzzier, and a lot rounder...

Cheers,

Nonono, you just added a tail fillet, the wrong way round but i bet your stability improved. Dont understand the addition in the cockpit being indeed a fuzzy material. Must be a late model improvement.

 

[Dana Bell]

Thanks, Snautzer,

You're too kind. As for stability, my wife might disagree on that point!

Cheers,

Me in front of the 109 at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, Massachusetts. Grabbed the work number and other data from Wikipedia that I couldn't remember off the top of my head—> Bf 109 G-14 610937 (N109EV), ex-Bf 109 G-10/U-4, ex-Bulgarian AF, Ex-Yugoslavian AF 9644, 172 Group / 83rd SQ "44"

Ohhh and here is one more that's non-plane related but still cool. My friend who volunteers at the Museum was able to get me and my friends into the workshop to see the running M-10

Nice shot mate.
Few interesting facts about this aircraft. After it was withdrawn from service in late fifthies, it was used for many years as a teaching tool at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade. In early eighties it was transported to the Aviation Museum depot at Belgrade Airport. With no restoration forthcoming because of the lack of funds, the aircraft was eventually sold to USA. Sad thing about restoration it underwent in the US is that no effort was made to research the aircraft's original German and Bulgarian camouflage beneath the Yugoslav one. In fact most of it's skin was taken down, trown away and replaced with new duralluminium.
Here's how this aircraft looked once in Yugoslav colors.
