    I must have a look at that because I too do like F-80’s.

    If you want to make this a thread dedicated to F-80’s then why not… 😀

    (I’ve had these pics for a while, so apologies for lack of credits)

    When I first read that list, it sounded like everything was pretty much a write -off !!!!

    Pleased to see that isn’t the case 🙂

    That pic of the PB4Y’s engine and surviving airframe is a real eye-opener !! 😮

    The fourth one (the chopper) is a XHJD-1 Whirlaway.

    It’s nice, but reminds me of those made-for-tv movies where Hollywood invents an airline and livery.

    Classic aircraft and family are irreplaceable when they go.
    I lost my father at the age of 21 to a road accident and I for one would give everything up I own to have just 15 minutes with him again.
    It’s these sort of things that all the money in the world cannot buy.

    Wow, that jumper/formater of the C-130 would have been great to video !!!

    Just that I remember reading a story about the Sparrowhawk pilots doing that trick.
    When the aircraft was holding the constant vertical, the airframe would spin around slowly under the engine torque as there was insufficient airflow over the wings/ailerons to counteract this.

    Just can’t remember where I read this and have googled a lot unsuccessfully.

    Cheers
