I WIN BEECHCRAFTS! (get it? it's a plane pun)

Yes, it is the Besler steam plane. It was converted from a Travelair 2000.

It was said to be so quiet that bystanders could speak with the pilot as he flew past.

And, of course, the motor was fully reversible so landings could be short! And the plane could be driven backwards by the prop.

 

[Procrastintor]

So it's a ninja plane!

 

[Procrastintor]

Now, what plane to choose...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Cool! Would like to know more about this odd bird.

So, a crew of three then - pilot, navigator, and stoker !!

 

[Procrastintor]

I wonder how they fit the coal room XD

 

[Procrastintor]

It won't be very hard, but go for it anyway. I just couldn't get photoshop to work, so I had to pick a close up pic off the internet.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I'm thinkin' P-40

Duplicate Post

 

[Airframes]

Yes it is. A P-40, and a duplicate post !

 

[Procrastintor]

Crap, really? Sorry about that, didn't read the whole thread.

 

[Procrastintor]

But yeah, P-40 is right, it's my favorite plane.

It's OK - not your duplicate post. I think Jim was admitting he'd made a duplicate post .

 

[Procrastintor]

Oh, OK. So I guess it's someone else's turn, make it better than mine XD

 

[Airframes]

Jim got it, so no doubt he'll post something soon. Earth calling Jim, Earth calling Jim .....

 

[Capt. Vick]

It's OK - not your duplicate post. I think Jim was admitting he'd made a duplicate post .

Yes, it was me. I will post something tomorrow guys. Sorry, super busy with work and all...

Hey! I caught a quick minute, so here is the next quiz. Posted more for it's oddity, than it's difficulty. What is the plane to the left of the Ki-44, at Pacific wars end?
