Photos of photos...

Photographed this Bird Dog at Zeltweg (Steiermark, Austria) at the Air Power airshow in 2000.

This one my Uncle photographed in Saigon around 1990.

Awesome Rob. Which car is yours?

There is a giant used book sale here every year and of course I go to check out what's available; these two were $10. I (and my suffering wife) plan to visit Wright-Patterson later this year. The Mustang book was published in 2022 so should have some new info. View attachment 836615
Looking at the pictures and this jumped out at me. Is this the only Me109 photo they could find? I hope more rigor is shown in the rest of the book. I'll let you know after I read it. View attachment 836616

If, after spending the day at Wright-Patt, you would like more, Urbana is home to Champagne Gal (B-25J flys regularly) and Champagne Lady, a plans built B-17G. CL is an all volunteer workforce but not done yet.

B-25J CHAMPAIGN GAL | Champaign Aviation Museum

www.champaignaviationmuseum.org

It's about 40 minutes north of Wright-Pat. Farther north and west is the Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta. Troy Ohio is home to the Waco (aircraft) Museum.

Only Wright-Pat is free. Try to get to the restoration hangar if it's open. The only extant B-17D is there.

Columbus and Cincinnati have some great restaurants. PM me if you want some suggestions on cuisine to reward a patient spouse.

Never enough!!

 

[Donivanp]

Never enough!!

How can you shoot them and blow them up if you don't keep them in stock. I mean realistic war games require a resupplying effort. You go Jan! Don't listen to the one who has the Japanese Air Force ten times larger than they ever had!

Or, since this is an aviation site:
British 3.7 Inch HAA Gun, Accurate Armour G002 (2008) https://share.google/9dZtZNH0hJHySyp2A

 

[Lucky13]

As been said, being a aviation site....

 

[A4K]

Oh yes... the 25 lber looks big, but the 3.7 looks cool...

 

[Lucky13]

Settled for this one....

Like it Jan!
