Beechcraft Starship. Used to be one based at Hendon Airport/Orlando Executive Airport that would fly over my house every so often. Made a wierd sound. |

Supposedly, there are only a handful out there in the wild now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I got a lift in the basket off my ship and then back on about a week later from one of these. That was during the Mariel Boat Lift in 1980 Quote HistoryQuoted: I got a lift in the basket off my ship and then back on about a week later from one of these. That was during the Mariel Boat Lift in 1980 That's funny. I got the same ride, but just down to the ship, during one of our interdiction patrols. I was aboard the helicopter taking photos of 'suspect vessels' (read anything afloat). On the way back to the ship, the pilot asked me if would be willing to put on a demo for the crew. No way in hell I was gonna turn that down. We hovered, flew backwards, the cat landed the thing in the water and scooted around a bit. The whole time I was sitting in the door with a gunner's belt on. Last thing he did was lower me to the flight deck. Now, no big thing for the HSLD dudes, but for a geeky ass Radioman, it was tits as hell. |

Quote HistoryI've got just shy of two thousand hours in those (minus the radar, and with a bunch more seats) Totally underwhelming airplane, that I never cared much for flying. But it looks much cooler with the antenna on top. |

Note the splinter vane: When I was a kid, i went to an airshow at Luke AFB and viewed this ship up close and personal. IIRC, Luke had more than one Mig-Killer on the flight line at the time.

One of Luke's F-15B's with the D-Day stripes. Ah the glory days, when Phantoms, Eagles and German F-104's ruled the line.

IIRC we had 5 or 6 planes with kills on them before they were all converted to F-4Gs. There were a couple of two stars and one 3 star bird. During their lives as F-4G models they still carried those stars. |

I saw a cool old movie today, WINGS OF THE NAVY (1939). Plenty of old aircraft porn, including the N3N seaplane, the PBY, the F3F, and a trainer I didn't recognize. The filming had a lot of actual training footage fromPensacola.
