Surely a RARE FIND ! Thanks for posting it up and.... WELCOME ABOARD ! ! !

You are definitely a SURVIVOR ! What make and model vehicle was that before the new aerodynamic redesign???

WHOA ! ! ! :derailed: Somewhere around Post #10 this thread got off the OP's topic and then has gone on and on about DASH CAMS. PLEASE RETURN to the original topic before MODERATION kicks in. Thank you.

That, Sir, is the sort of profound fantasy upon which classic Hollywood scripts are written. Thank you for expressing it with literary license seldom composed in today's world.

Quite simply: My posting had absolutely NOTHING to do with "post count". Instead, and quite benignly, this is a bit of MILITARY VEHICLE HISTORY that the larger percentage of our SS Membership most probably has never heard. Since most of the members are TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS, their exposure to any...

An interesting article about a B-29 that crash landed in 1947 and was resurrected from it's frozen grave crossed my desk this week. Once made flyable once more, she was lost to a fire before ever becoming airborne again. This is that story...

SWEET ! But I'm not seeing any 'stripes'. LOL

Turn up your volume.... Here's the world's highest flying airplane doing a pretty low pass with afterburners lighted as he pulls up and soars away... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ar-ubA3eRw They called this a "Skeleton Rattling" pass.

Here's just one of many lessons that just might save your life.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWd8ml9mFMo

Here's a thread dedicated to the B-25 Mitchell Bomber. It was this aircraft type that Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders flew to Japan and bombed Tokyo in America's first air strike upon the Japanese mainland during WWII. WIKI Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_B-25_Mitchell...

Apparently, we don't yet have a thread dedicated to this awesome bird.... Here's what happens when a whole corral full of Mustangs gets to galloping at the same time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXiyD44jM9w And here's what WIKI says about the P-51...

The grandson of the Enola Gay pilot will be in Wichita on Friday to take the controls of the B-29 Bomber, “Doc.” McConnell Air Force Base said in a news release Tuesday Brig. Gen. Paul Tibbets IV will fly Doc from the right seat when the Wichita-built and restored Boeing Superfortress travels to...

I stumbled on this article (it's a bit older) about the C-141's retirement back in 2006. I the latter 70's I was privileged to make some loooong flights as a special "up front" passenger, enjoying a cockpit view and all. (Most of my travels for No Such Agency granted me special seat...

Stumbled on this obscure article: https://futurism.com/lockheed-confirms-secretive-sr-72-hypersonic-plane-will-be-made/ One must wonder if, since it seems the Skunk Works is now talking, just how long has the SR-72 been "in production" already, and possibly even already flying ? ! ? ! ? ...

This one is neither a military aircraft, nor even a LOW flight. But I figured the subscribers of this thread would be impressed by the HIGHLY UNUSUAL observation of this airliner passing nearby at altitude... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cla34QzgbKc Here's the article that led me to the...

Practicing paired tactical approach at just 300 ft AGL (Above Ground Level).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1F8U45Rjyc Carry on!

This is an EXCELLENT idea and legitimate request. Photos posted that clearly show the differences will clear up much of the confusion here. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Truer words have (almost) never been spoken. I'm looking forward to seeing the "police array" of the...

I believe you are confusing split rims for what you probably have... split RING rims. Please read the earlier posts and look at the photos for a better understanding of the differences.

The TU-114's lineage is indeed traced to the TU-95. It's been long suspected that since most "civil" aircrews were military "reserve" what better way to prepare for an invasion of a foreign land than to retain the GLASS NOSE so your "civil" bombardier can get lots of practice while serving as...

That's kinda nice :) (Moved thread to MODELS Forum) Thanks for posting it up.
