Just Look at the P-40 Yeeehaaa

The Dr1 Triplane was built in the 1980’s by Stu Tantrum. Peter Jackson owns other WW1 type aircraft based at Omaka in Blenheim.

The problem with the LA-9 was the actuator rod on the trim tab on the rudder broke and trim tab departed from rudder. The aircraft landed safely after being checked in the air by Cliff Goldspink in the Hurricane.

I believe that the Alpine Fighter Collection’s Spitfire XVI TB863 is still airworthy.Looking forward to seeing it and all the other warbirds At W.OW this year!!

I enjoyed seeing the Shuttleworth Gladiator at Legends in 2002.Seeing two of them at legends 2004 would be nice.
I guess the TFC Gladiator has some way to go.

Will the TFC P-38 be ready by then??,be nice to see that at Legends!

I am unaware of the AT-6 having the “flying characteristics of a sack of spuds under certain conditions”.Like most(all) aircraft when you go out of the flight envelope,you can get yourself into trouble ,no matter if your flying a Cessna 150 ,AT-6 or perhaps B747 .
For instance the approach speed for the AT-6 is about 90 knots ias,(short finals 75-70KTS) . For a short field approach its about 65 KT ias.If you go below 65 KTS and your low and missuse the controls (and consider weather factor) ,your setting yourself up for some real problems.

The AT-6 afterall is a trainer, to prepare the pilot for more powerful aircraft, ie Spitfire ,P-51 mustang or Vampire and so on.Fly the aircraft in a safe proffessional manor and its docile. But it will bite the careless and fool hardy.

Are the ‘Arnold Spitfires coming out of hybernation any time soon?
I am thinking of NH238 ,but they have some others as well dont they?
Also ML417 is located in the States..Chino .Is this ong term/permanant location .Or coming back to the U.K at some point?
