Does the Planes Of Fame Museum in Chino, California, have any groundhogs in its collection?

You mean you didn't stop in at the Groundhogs of Fame Museum? It's just a little further south in Corona. Next to Rosie's Queen of Corona cantina, where me and Julio used to hang out.

Is that down by the schoolyard?

I'll get my coat!

The cantina is now closed - it has a virus.
I'll get my coat too ...................

You bring your groundhog and I'll bring mine.

Sorry, mine is shielding, due to the virus ............

I guess yours doesn't have the virus-repelling, self-sealing nutsacks, huh? You need to splash out and get the upgrade. It's worth every penny and really improves performance and safety of your groundhog.

I'm not entirely sure we want perverted, self-sealing nutsacks down by the schoolyard. There might be a law against it.

This is what happens to a pigeon when you expend it's nose ammo. I guess you have to click on the photo to get the video going....I guess

It is quite obvious from this photo that they failed to move the radio forward from the tail section to correct the CG...

Airframes · Nov 19, 2020

That looks coo-cool.

When I was growing up on the farm, amongst other breeds, I had Tumblers (backwards) and Rollers (forwards). Once they started to interbreed they turned into complete retards.

buffnut453 · Nov 19, 2020

Is it a stealth pigeon? I can't see the photo. Maybe a groundhog stole it?

GregP · Nov 19, 2020

Who knew the "P" in P-39 stood for Pigeon? That almost looks like a Pugachev Cobra maneuver.

A combat pigeon? With 20 mm feet?

buffnut453 · Nov 19, 2020

Hey...I can see the pigeon on my phone. Maybe the groundhog brought it back.

Definitely an aft CofG problem there, methinks, based on the video!

When you take the radio out of a homing pigeon, that's what happens.

GregP · Nov 19, 2020

A lamechevek?

He's back in the back yard..........................................................

Certainly appears to be struggling to gain altitude...barely looks like he's off the ground at all. Maybe if we removed about 836lb of excess weight, maybe we could turn it into an interceptor. Perhaps we should have an entire thread revolving around that single data point?

Gonna be hard to take 836lbs out of that.
