You gotta love a Hot Rod even with wings. I believe this was a mail plane.


I took this pic from a vietnam era spotter plane.

I live near the airport and they fly formations right over my house when they have the contest. radial engines all day all weekend. It's too cool. years ago they had a big airshow but it's mostly for the owners and pilots nowdays.

We (Kuhn Airmotive ) used to do P&W engines for a whole bunch of (Stearman Dusters).
I still remember going out to Brawley to drop off engines, smelly and hot.

I live not far from Willow Run airport, mostly a cargo airport, but it is also home of the Yankee Air Museum. Each summer they have a show and we always get treated to at least one low flying B-17. Very unique sound, nice treat to see as they are fairly low to avoid commercial traffic patterns I suspect.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
