I’ve been using Firefox for almost a year now, and am a complete convert. I have found that it loads faster than IE and Navigator, has superior handling of viruses, etc., updates are ‘automatic’ and the browser is generally simpler and more enjoyable to use.
Of course switching to Gmail helps even more.

sorry if I may seem somewhat irreverent… but I just had to share…
Further to J Boyle’s comment – here’s the Canadian Warplane Heritage’s Crane…

And Ghent?!?!… why yes, I did spend an afternoon drinking there!
apologies to anyone potentially offended by these and other comments… :rolleyes:
Well Sean, like you I’ve heard a couple ‘leaks’ but for the life of me, I can’t imagine this album ever hitting the shelves…. how many years has this been touted???
I had to raise the subject here, simply due to the fact that after hearing the Dr. Pepper promise of a free can over something regarding GNR-CD… an Ottawa radio personality has now vowed to walk naked down Bank St. in Ottawa IF the album is released by September. (not a sight I wish to see) although I really could go for a Dr. Pepper right now.

And, due to a cost-savings/profit sharing agreement, 55% of each airframe is to be produced by the newly formed consortium CCV – metal treatment and cutting being performed in Havana, sub-assemblies constructed and appropriately ‘ballasted’ in Caracas, with final assembly taking place in Beijing, with the first lead-painted airframe due for delivery (via Pyongyang) in September of 2008 – wayyyyy ahead of projected in-service date.
holy k-rap!!!… Ken, how did you get your hands on those pics…????:eek: 😉
don’t worry, its sure to be followed up with 15 more pages of ‘fans’ who will go out of their way to prove it really really did exist, and it’s faster, steathier and older than the F-22 to boot!! (oh, and half of it was built in deepest, darkest Manchuria)
I really do love the first week of April!!!
Peter,
I haven’t got an original, but will a scan thereof suffice??
RCAF 60th Anniversary and 75th Anniversary of powered flight in Canada.

WOW!!
out of curiousity, why is almost everything some kinda jet?? (and mostly single seaters)…
The P-3 family and CP-140 (it looks the same but its not the same) fully qualify as Maritime strike aircraft (and actually the CP-140 out-ranks the P-3).
Heck, for that matter, how about the MQ-1 Predator??
3G does ring a bell to me – I can’t remember/can’t be bothered to dig any deeper, but the numbers, as far as I remember, are very similar to the FB-111’s, which puts a max +G close to 2.8 – 3
I’ve got a little old battered gem in my collection that I picked up for 50 cents when the local library was selling off old, damaged books.
‘Veteran & Vintage Aircraft’ by Leslie Hunt from some time in the late 1960s. An amazingly detailed collection of photos and notations on individual aircraft and collections around the world… 3,350 entries on 1,025 types.
By no means current, but an amazing insight into where the world-wide preservation scene was ‘at’.

sorry about that – seems I got a little ‘aggressive’ whilst thinning out my uploads… here’s the original shot I had included with the thread.
