I was not as fortunate to have seen either of them in person. However, my father preferred that my toys and childhood experiences be more learning focused than idle time-killers. So, about the time of the tragic loss of the one XB-70 (I was about 8 or 9 years old) he bought an XB-70 model...

APPLAUSE ! ! ! (y)👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The only surviving XB-70 Valkyrie Mach 3+ Bomber was recently moved from its hangar at the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB. Here are links to an article, and video of the move...

CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !

Welcome aboard :grin: Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: Congratulations on snagging a wrecker! And, although she showed up in lesser condition than advertised, it will be a great toy for you to sink lots of time and money into rofl Hence, around here we like...

Somebody's going to say this anyway, so I'll grin and post it...... nopics It DOES sound like an interesting find.

Reporting for duty, Sir! (subscribed) If called to combat (submitting an MV) I will protect and defend my nomination to the best of my ability... So help me God. Otherwise, I will lurk behind the lines in a "support role" as a voter rather than a candidate. Standing by, Sir.

Welcome back!

Although we used to have a secondary LZ in Alamogordo, NM, that is no longer the case. But as you head east, we are anchored in San Angelo, Texas.... 60 miles off I-10, 90 miles off I-20.... One of the largest cities in the nation more than 5 miles from the nearest interstate.... So, depending...

Congratulations, FuzzyToaster! For a guy whose username seems to imply that his kitchen countertop appliances are extraordinarily UNSANITARY, that sure is one VERY CLEAN Auger Truck!!!

Your truck would NOT "appear" to carry the wear and tear of a 1950's vintage vehicle because.... 1. These trucks were sent through various rebuild programs as routine procedure. Hence, about the only thing you can actually say with any certainty was original equipment or parts would be the...

Martin's Tavern is quite the historic location. Thank you for the offer of another visit. I'm thinking that Dianna would also enjoy both the memorabilia and the great food there. And, of course, your company is priceless as well!

Both are sweet aircraft. As you said, sadly both have been lost. Thanks for sharing that video.

Jeeperjoe, Thank you for passing this news on to us all. Dianna and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his family, and all who knew him in this earthly life. If you have or find any service information, a funeral home name/location, or anything else, please post it up here or PM me the info...

Daniel, I've tagged Rory - @M813rc - who is in your general area and is an upstanding troop around the website. He knows others in the Austin area as well. Hope that's helpful. John San Angelo, Texas

Now you're really piquing my interest!

"Negative airspace beneath aircraft (in this case the load)" is a common factor in every aviation crash. I'm also glad that all survived to talk about it.

Much appreciated, brother! No plans penciled onto the calendar yet. But I will keep y'all in mind too. I can see that when the time comes to "fly low" over the east coast we'll be posting a mission thread in advance. Are y'all still in NV? That is another direction we're considering. Could do...

I just love that head-on view of the Corsair (F4U). Those bent wings always intrigue me.

I think that once all this COVID confusion comes to an end I just might need another trip to the east coast. Our son and his family have recently relocated to Maine, a sister in NJ, cousin in SC, and furthest south is my other sister in FL. You and several other SS family members are all along...
