Arms Race

Not at X-mas, as You might have imagined. But a “sale” at the local “photo-shop”, which dealed in a lot of things. We three brothers got each a kit from my dad, and he accidentally started an “Arms Race”, some of You may have experienced as well, I’m sure! I got the FROG Oxford, that he 15 years earlier worked on as an aircraft mechanic.

The “hump” on the back? Looks like the one on NASA WB-57’s? (Aviation News Jan/2013 p.69).

Here is a Danish Broussard imported from Hungary. But not allowed to fly presently – as the “LY-” registered An-2 in the background. (Photo taken overhead EKVJ Stauining).

Nothing to do with dayglo:
The Chinook at Odense did indeed lift two Land Rovers – but lost one after a couple of minutes! 😮

Wonderful “panning” indeed! What settings do you use to keep the props “whirling” – and the aircraft sharp?

“He in the Jungmann is a she”
Yes, very nice, a man would be picking his nose, when the traffic gets heavy 😀
We sometimes hear the P&W R 2800’s of the A-26 crossing our small country. Always get me out of the house, then pester my colleagues: “What was that?”. Turboprops of the ATR, Jetstream, SAAB-kind don’t have the same “X-factor”. (Powerful and efficient as they may be.)
Best Regards

The Jungmann pilot seems bored – or is he trying to get some sense of the R/T?
Very fine pics!

Very fine pictures!
The Airtourer competed to replace Chipmunks in Denmark. (Early 70’ies). It lost to the Swedish MFI-17. But Sweden chose the Scottish Bulldog! Later Norway went for MFI-15’s. I had the good fortune to travel with “Baby Blue”, the RDAF Flying School display team, to Koksijde, Belguim, last Summer. The amount of displacemnt in this typical “slow mover”-team- mostly up/down – is unbelievable. Yet hardly noticable from the ground. What is the smoke system like? (We’ll never get a smart paint job! But maybe some ather gimmick 😀
