Did Canada build and use Tigers or did they rely on a US design for elementary flying (I know much of their advanced flying was US types such as Cessna Bobcats/Cranes and Harvards and Yales)

In addition to Tiger Moths, Canada also used U.S. designed Stearmans bi-planes (PT-13, 17,and the PT-27 with canopies) as well as open cockpit Fairchild Cornells (PT-19, 23…and the PT-26 with canopies).
The Fairchilds were also built in Canada by Fleet.

Overhere, I dare to say that 90% of the “press” I see at Dutch airshows consist of spotters who made their own press id’s in their computer. So, I am afraid their is a loth of truth in the complains some have. Like their are “bogus” “veterans” at many veteran events, there are many “bogus” press at airshow. Can’t help it.

As a former USAF public affairs officer in the U.K., I’ve got to agree that we got a lot of phoney requests for media credentials.
It seemed that everyone who had ever read FlyPast and had a camera wanted special access, calling themselves a freelancer.
As an “enthusiast” myself, I was a sympathetic and tried my best to help out the spotters, etc., but many of my colleagues were quickly soured by all the frauds. Which made it that much harder for the actual media people.

Hmmm. OK, time for a thread hijack. “Take this thread to Cuba…” No, not that one.

Soooo. If it WASN”T a Ju52, what could it have been?

Ford Trimotor
Savoia Marchetti Sm79.

My, they are pulling the stops out at Legends this annum…

Any other guesses?

How about an Upside down Ford Tri-Motor? 🙂

What, no Mustang jokes?

I’m surprised no one has made the obvious joke of doctoring a photo of a
P-51 and calling it a Ford Mustang.

Between 1979-82 I had a 79 Mustang..its license plate number? “P-51” (Idaho plate). I once had a cop pull me over and ask if I had one. 🙂

Anorack fact: The Mustang car was in fact named after the airplane, but when it came time for badges, they opted for the more obvious horse.

There are two: Wings and Airpower….both have been around for 30+ years and are printed by the same publisher.
Not a lot of current news on warbird movements or airshows. Aside from a brief “Warbird Report” column, most of the content consists of long features on a plane, pilot, or the development of a type of aircraft, mainly U.S.
Not bad, but I subscribe to FlyPast and buy individual copies of these when they have something I don’t know much about.
