God are we still crying over this one, look it comes down to this the OWNER elect to keep the cover on because by the sounds of it it was a rather hot day and didn’t want to fry anything inside the cockpit.

If you really must have a photo of this machine then heres an idea track down the home airport send a request to the owner about stopping by and get some photos.

Ok Now,

Back on the subject, Yesterday I was watching Speed Channel and they had an update on this whole mess and it seems that no US Track wants to pick up the F1 race for next year.

Also in the same story they where talking bout NASCAR looking into holding races in mexico,Canadia and hold onto your hats my UK friends two or three in the UK.

Now I know that NASCAR has been talking about doing more stuff in North America and that they even had a chance to do some stuff in Aussie Land. My dad who does stuff with NH Motor Speed Way home of two NASCAR races told me that the whole F1 farce has been the talk of the big wigs with-in NASCAR.

Someone ask why doesn’t a NASCAR driver like Jeff Gordon or Jr go drive for F1 I can answer that with one simple work Money. These guys make far more Money driven NASCAR then they would ever with F1.

The bottom line is F1 has been on the decline here in the States for the past 10 years and this is just a sad way for it to end.

Ok Folks,

Since we want the Curret Oldest Airworthy Jet then JT old F3 then a certain T-33A 49-0884 would be the second oldest I believe then either POF Mk3 which I think is keep in airworthy status or Mk3 RCAF 17031 which I undertsand is flying please correct me if I’m wrong.

Now if we want to expain this topic in about a year the POF P-59 will be the oldest flying Jet. Followed by I think Kermits Meteor when he decides to put it into the air.

Also how many of the early Russian Build Mig15s can hold the title of oldest Airworthy Jet. Iknow that their was someone doing research on all the early Migs that came out of the Iron Curtain and I think one or two where found to be Korean War Vets.

Makes for an interesting topic.

Hi, does anyone have a list of all the secretaries of states AND nat sec advisors since 1940 (in relationship with presidents).

Ben,

For what Country? If you are looking for the US go to USGov.com and type in Sec of State it will give you a list of all of them.

The P38 is a late model Lightning, probably an F5G Recce bird. Didn’t Spartan Executive have a few of those that did a lot of mapping in Canada etc?

Hi Dan,

Look at the cowling again these are from a E model and the nose package is not the type Hurd used, they had a more rounded package.

Maybe Mk12 can give us the writing on the tail so we can cross match it.
