I’d like to see one of Dubya’s kids (or grandkids) pedalling one of those towards him – they’d be killed on sight for being in possession of a WMD! 😀

You’d like to see a pair of attractive female 22 year old recent university graduates pedal a tiny plane? Wow, that’s what I call a fetish :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:
Please seek help immediately. 😀

I have a pic somewhere of a kid pedalling around the Corsair gathering a few years ago in a P-40 pedal plane….rather cute, really…

I always thought an ‘Affordable Warbird’ was an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence….or ‘knowledgeable Key publishing forum member’…

Melv, the salesman told him “buy one of these mustangs and your feet won’t touch the ground”

He wasn’t kidding.

He’d have to go and put American pedals in his . . .

Or it could go the other way…….

I can hear the commentator now…..”And coming in low to the right of crowd line, you’ll see the awesome sight of the Forum Frequent Flyers Display Team….”

😀 😀 I want one, where do you get them from?? 😀 Anna :diablo:

Great photo Geedee. Note the trainer wheel for steep banking.

I might send that photo to the Ministry of Defence and try to convince them we can reinstate an affordable combat wing in the RNZAF.

Look at that short wingspan, though. Surely these were built for going round pylons?? 😀

And I suppose with that pedal arrangement, full power must give you one hell of a take off swing if you’re not careful.

(really must stop being silly and get on with some work…)
