Quote HistoryQuoted: Me too! I thought I was the only one. I still have mine in the garage and a can of old fuel but I think the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: No pics. Mine was a Cox P40 Warhawk, that I was too young to be flying. Needless to say, I flew it straight into the ground. Me too! I thought I was the only one. I still have mine in the garage and a can of old fuel but I think the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Geez, your bringing back memories. Mine broke the engine mounts on the airplane. After that, I thought it was cool to run the engine, holding it with Vise-Grips. What could go wrong? ?? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does Boeing have several or just one. I've seen it at Paine Field a few times and I've probably even see you fly it over my house a few times. There are 4 of these in service. They are all slightly different from each other. You will notice that there are no winglets on these jets versus a normal 747-400. They caused a flutter issue due to the larger fuselage. |

I sat in a Skyraider when I was a Cub Scout. That's the closest I've been to a driver's seat.
Probably better that way. Otherwise, it would probably be like this:  Attached File |

 As a CC I got to drive this once. It was my jet ironically. I took this selfie long before there was such a thing. In the backseat of a Viper when I was part of the E4 mafia. Different jet.

I was curious to see if I was the only one on here to fly one. We flew it for social events and some special shows. I would have to dig up the old photos to find some pics. Flown so many I have lost count. Mainly toys. While the Pitts were great for fun, the Stearman was a classic to fly. Flew the Cobra that crashed in the Energizer commercial. The owner had 2 and used them in several films including the Rock, where they had a terrible gold paint |
