Better go fast…..

It would really be exciting if Ms. Kidman were chasing him in a Fw-190…:)

MORE INFO….

I recall another Putnam book on the subject “German Giants”. Lots of information on the German heavy bombers of the era.
Also, 35 years ago I read a book about the WWI German air attacks on the UK…went into a lot of detail about how the British used the attacks to build sympathy in the U.S. and gave details on U.K. civilian losses. Pity I can’t recall the name..but there is something out there published in 1968 or 69.

Let’s hear if for the female aviation fans….

their are some female out there that do love aviation,

Snaps,
It’s good to hear there are some female aviations buffs out there.
I need to thank my wife for going through countless museums, walking miles at Duxford, puting up with the mobs at the NASM, not to mention interrupting vacations to hunt out planes at obscure airports, checking shops for books and models, waiting for me to finish a flying lesson, pretending to enjoy a helicopter ride 200 feet abouve the Potomac River in D.C. (pre 9-11 of course)…I could go on.

Thanks for putting up with it all….:)

I wonder how long it will be before a US airline orders the 7E7?

If it’s as good as Boeing says…and its a more efficient 767 replacement, I’m sure U.S. carriers will buy them.
But with many airlanes in red ink, I can understand why they haven’t plunked down the cash…yet.
You can bet Boeing will give United and American the benefits & status of launch customers when they place their orders.

What does she look like today?

I was just thinking that if a Forum Meet took place with Miss York as a guest speaker say at Duk, how many would turn up. Hell I know I would. In uniform!
Paul

To paraphrase a line from the film ” Caddyshack”…..
“…I bet she was a looker in the Nixon administration…”
I haven’t seen the lovely Miss York in awhile, is she still as lovely as she was in the 1969 version of 1940? 🙂

Wrong Way …. (Not Corrigan)

Based on personal experience…I can estimate that 100 % of Americans visiting the UK and drive have driven on the wrong side….albeit very briefly.
I’ll admit to doing it very rarely, usually when pulling onto a street from a parking lot when there was no traffic to remind me….:)
Another correlation, after 15 years in the U.S., my wife occasionally walks to the wrong side of the car when she’s going driving.

I’ve been lucky getting flights in old warbirds: B-17, C-47, T-6, Tiger Moth, and newer warbirds: B-52, B-1, C-130, various helicopters……but I guess a WWII fighter…P-51 or Spitfire.
Either is okay…I’m open to offers and will buy the fuel.:)
