    Hi Guys,

    When I talked with Mr.Potter he said it would take about 4 months to get props. He was shooting to get her out by mid-fall unless he could sorce some new ones in the UK.

    As for cost I was told by someone else they are about $200K US this sound a bit high.

    They pushed her into one of the T-hangers on the field.

    Ok Guys,

    This till does’nt answer my firt question, Chris Danny did’nt misjudge his hieght he caught a Micro-shear at the bottom of the loop and for the record he had about 50 feet of clearance more then the Su. pilot did.

    Here in the States if you fly Acro in a Warbird you must have a Low Leavel Waiver and get a ACE ride every six months.

    As for the Female pilot getting killed in a Dusk Ribbon cut I’ll check with ICAS and get back to you.

    I still don’t see why peolpe are not hopping mad over this IDIOTS stunt Hell he was flying right at the crowd what would have happen if he took a Hick-Up and touch water. I’ll tell you a lot of people would have been either hurt of killed. Like I said this would never fly here in the States, but I quess the EU lets you do anything stupid.

    Hey Mark,

    I have the video that has all of the C-130 landings there were six in all. Encluding three complete stops and then the 130 back up and did at STOl take off. Very Impressive.

    I always wondered if the 130 was set aside for the USAFM.

    Cheers

    OK Guys,

    So were are all the calls for these two IDOITS to be ground like evryone was when Danny McQue got low with his Yak Demo.

    I really don’t care if these guys are that good its just plain stupid, but that goes to show you that you can get away with crap like that in Japan these types of Stunts would never fly here in the States or in the UK.

    JDK,

    I was meant front line combat for the Spit and Stang.

    The Last Domi P-51 to retirer was in late 1989 when they got T-33.

    The IAF last Glory Hound was sometime in 68 or 69 and that was a a reco bird if my fail memory is right.

    I’m not a big Stang fan nor Glory Hound give me a Corsair any day over those two light weights.

    Cheers

    Hey JDK,

    Heres one for you when was the Last P=51 retired? Next one when was the last glory hound Spit retired.

    Answer

    Mustang 1989 Domicain Republic 😮

    Glory Hound Spit IAF 1968 :p

    But we all know that it was the Hurri that did all the work in the BoB and that Stangs had the Legs to go to Big B and back while the Glory Hounds could only make it to the border. 😀

    Hey David,

    There seems to be nothing wrong with the shot remember the B-25 is a rather good size plane and it appears that its coming pass the mustang.

    Hi All,

    For a complete list go over to warbirds resource group punch up the uSAF list a look under the B-29s.

    As for Kermits stuff he has four. Fertil Mertil the X-1 mother ship plus the remains that would make up three others. Currently he has out a complete project on the market. If you are interested go to AeroTraders web site.

    While a majority of the 29 came out of China Lake quite a number were pulled from Aberdeen Proving grounds. The New England Air Museums plane is from there.

    Hi F-100f,

    Do I get the prize if I guess how many 100 you have. Since you are waiting tohear back from the USAFM for ownership, I take it then they are still on at least two of the USAF Base’s. There is one that is a Gate Guard and my sorce’s at the USAFM tell me that you have the remains of up to four.

    Well How close am I. If you need any help from this side of the pond go to the Wix board and post in are parts section.
    I visit a guy out in Sacromento who has the only Single Seat 100 flying got some nice photos. He also has the only Drakenthat is still flown and is rebuilding another one.

    I know he has alot of spares for the 100 in storage. I saw a Hot Section siting in the corner along with two Canopys.

    Cheers

    Boris,

    My I suggest you write the National Air and Space Museum they have many drawings on file plus drop Bell Helicopter a line.

    I think they may even have some stuff on their web site.
