Dianna and I saw this sign in the local HOBBY LOBBY this evening.....



We thought the whacked off top corner was symbolic.

So, I took a pic with my phone and just HAD to share it here.



Carry on.

Low flyin' RC P47

Low flyin' pics are so entertaining I decided to make my own. After peeling the wrapper off this new RC Parkzone P47 and taking the trim flight I thought of you plane nut guys and the low flyin thread.



As many low passes and touch & goes we could do before the battery died.

Stellar moments at 5:12 and the landing at 6:12. Didn't see much point starting a thread so hope I'm adding some enjoyment to the low flyers.

Stellar moments ... the landing at 6:12.

I've seen plenty of photos of the real thing landed as you did at 6:12, so you're in good company!

Cheers

Had to add a link I found with a very detailed history on the P-47. http://www.cradleofaviation.org/history/aircraft/p-47_thunderbolt_aviation_darwinism.html

Here's the latest low pass with the real thing.........crank up those speakers.

Do it a night along the beach

A few have had the prop in the water
But they ain't talkin

Low flyers..again

Time for Christmas season low flyer pics!

Time for Christmas season low flyer pics!

That plane in Pic #2 looks more like an RC Model than a full scale aircraft. Which is it?

 

[m1010plowboy]

If I may, this is the story on the Mig 17.

Not really low level flight, this pilot nearly buys the farm at the bottom of a loop. The tail strike occurred during at a 1990 airshow in Harrison, Arkansas. Photographer, who was a technician for the FAA and somewhat of a camera buff, was tracking with his camera, as this guy looped off the deck in a MiG-17. The pilot had just completed a loop and misjudged his pull-out. Everyone considering themselves as potential victims, took-off running in all directions. But the photographer had a non-threatening position along with a strong motivation to take the picture. So just as the MiG scraped the ground, he captured this rare image… Oh, by the way, the guy just made a wide circle, lowered his landing gear, touched down . . then taxied in showing scratched paint, but no sheet metal damage.

That is indeed an award winning photograph. Close call for the pilot. Glad for the safe outcome.

Thanks for the narrative.

Carry on.

The first picture was a crash.

My uncle was a b36 pilot. Those pictures are of early models indeed. The later versions had 4 additional jet engines.

He he would always say "there is nothing like 6 turning and 4 burning". When flying a 36.
