Great job Freebird - I have been to every one except the ones in the Eastern Bloc and Australia. you did a gret job bringing them forward.

If I get a chance i will dig up and post shots I took in the back offices or Chino, Usaf at Wright Pat, USNASM facity at Silver Hill and the restoration Hangers of CAF (That would be CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE) at Harlingen - and yes you may refer to me as 'Colonel'.

I spent a lot of time talking to the dying talent that still know how to apply and dope fabric to elevators and rudders. Won't be long now when that art is as dead as glass blowers from Dresden in 1945

Great job -salute for an important subject about our gloabl heritage

Have you been up to the Commonwealth Training Museum in Brandon too?
It was sad because it looked like they don't get too many visitors. Soon forgotten....

Great thread Freebird! And no, I have no idea what that plane is. An odd looking beast though.

How about this for an unusual bird?

The "Antara"


A pretty darn good looking aircraft, considering it was built in 1917!

{Bet you don't see too many of these...}
