    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    Whoa, nice post Tracer!! That forest of wind turbines is as interesting as the airframe: - What is the Stratolaunch designed to do (other than fly)?!

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    Yeah, I picked up on the crabbing also (very cool): - You can hear the wind in the recording

    Is there a reason the USCG is flying old retrofitted airframes, do you know? Because when we're bankrolling F-35's that seems kind of funny, you know?

    Sweet. Very cool vid, Tracer: - The start-up (at 2:00 +/-) brings to mind Jimmy Stewart's start-up scene in "Flight of the Phoenix" Nice!

    Those DC-3's are PRETTY. Wonder where people get the parts for them? Nice posts, Tracer!!

    Mullaney, you are brilliant! Figured that there had to be a reason (and that someone here just might know what it is). Even if you're making it all up. I'm buying it! Excellent

    Never noticed before but a turbo-prop (the P-3), with the intake and exhaust ABOVE the wing: - Wonder what the design idea was behind that?

    In its own ugly way, that's a pretty airframe.

    "Yikes" isn't enough: - Holy COW!!

    Brother, you have got the story of a LIFETIME right there!! Glad you (and all involved) made it to Terra Firma okay! Yikes

    PS Thanks for the post, Tracer, that was sweet for sure!!

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    The "Herc", got a special fondness for that airframe! Memory is a strange thing, and nothing to rely on, but I recall a USAF Loadmaster telling me once: - During USN deployment on a USAF C-130 that had to feather one prop due to an engine fire (yikes)... - That the C-130 will fly with one...

    The Machinist, whoi knew?! Franlk Brother, thank you; you ALWAYS add something interesting to the mix!!

    Nice vid, Traacer! Missed the low pass: - Do you know when (what time mark, i.e. "0,00") in the vid that low pass is shown?

    Yikes. Reading your words just now, Mullaney, and remembering the passage in Hemingway's "For Whome the Bell Tolls". It''s probably been 50 years since I read it, but that passage sticks in my find (a littel fuzzy, but there it is!) It's the one where the novel's hero (forgetting his name), is...

    You bet! As long as the bomb bays are closed: - You're all good!!

    Yeah, situations happen, for sure. AIr Guard pilot I knew used to tell me: - Every TAKE-OFF is optional - Every LANDING is mandatory He was joking and not joking, all at the same time!

    That is one ugly airframe, top ranking for being the ugliest!
