Re: Aircraft pics
From an old airplane magazine. Clay Lacy, in his DC-7 "Super Snoopy," races a dragster during the 1971 San Diego Cup airshow. In those days there were 1,000-mile air races and some of the guys thought that the prop-liners, with their speed and fuel capacity, were the way to go. Lacy came in 6th at the 1970 Mojave 1000 in this airplane but was not allowed to race at San Diego because the WWII fighter guys complained about the wake turbulence from the DC-7.

Re: Aircraft pics
How about this: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
Date:Fri,11 Aug 2006 15:56:01 -0600 Last night circa 2300 our BAX (A B727-200C)aircraft flight 705BX encountered severe weather over Alberta Canada. The aircraft was cruising at 35,000 feet when it encountered tennis ball sized hail. The pictures below show some of the damage. All landing lights were destroyed, as was the radar. The crew was forced to make a "blind" emergency landing. Upon safe return to the ground, the first officer and flight engineer quit. It is expected that the aircraft is a total loss as its structural integrity has been compromised. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...rs215/jet5.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...rs215/jet4.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...rs215/jet3.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...rs215/JET2.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ers215/JET.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Re: Aircraft pics
Wow, that had to be intense, talk about pucker factor!! Nothing worse than being in the air wishing you were on the ground. Lucky they didn't lose an engine or two in the process. Awesome job of the crew to get it back on the ground in one piece, my hat's off to them!

Re: Aircraft pics
Well,
This certainly changes my attitude about flying in bad weather. And to think about all the times I've cursed the FAA & US Air for leaving me stranded at the Philly airport over the past three years. Maybe I should re-think my position https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif NAAAAAA! |

Re: Aircraft pics
When I was younger ( some called me a yuppie ), I used to
drive SAAB's. I had a trememdous collection of SAAB aerospace related images. I thought it cool that the roots of the car came from an aircraft manufacturer. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites. The Viggen was the Swedish Air Force ( don't all laugh at once ) multi-role fighter of choice before the new Gripen came into use. AJ37 Viggen punching through cloud cover: http://www.freewebs.com/nuch_ss396/misc/000.jpg Viggen breaking the sound barrier: http://www.freewebs.com/nuch_ss396/m...%2Dbarrier.jpg |
Re: Aircraft pics
Two more of my favorites:
The Viggen was famous for its short, take off anywhere reputation. This image shows a group of Viggens taxi-ing down a snowy road preparing for takeoff. I used to call this one "traffic jam of Viggens on the Garden State Parkway". http://www.freewebs.com/nuch_ss396/m...5FMar%5F88.jpg This is the new multi-role SAAB Gripen. It really is an awesome fighter in its own right. Again, as can be seen in this image, the claim to fame was that this fighter could use normal roads for taxi & takeoff. How'd you like to look out your front window and see this thing driving by ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif Hey Honey, you'll never guess what I just saw drive by the house.... I used to call this one "taking the Gripen out for a Sunday drive". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif http://www.freewebs.com/nuch_ss396/m...50%5Froadb.jpg Almost makes you want to live in Sweeden - huh? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif |

Great pics....love seeing more anytime! . I've always wanted a Beech Bonanza....something about that cool V-tail and aluminum mix? . Make mine a first year '47....no paint, just the bare aluminum w/ stripes. . On another note, I read last week how the Seattle Flight Museum has bought that old Trans-Canada Air Connie in Toronto that was an restaurant for a while, now there's a big fight on about it leaving Canada? . The Seattle group has a static resto planned even in the original Trans-Canada paint yet now they're being treated like they're stealing a national treasure and no one here wanted it for years and years? . It's disassembled now for shipping and the fight is on....I hope positive things happen soon as it just deteriorates further as time goes by. So does anyone know what aircraft Yenko was into, ever flew or what he owned himself? . ~ Pete [/ QUOTE ] The accident aircraft (N1230M a Cessna Centurion C210) was registered first to Yenko Chevrolet then Yenko Honda. Interestingly that number was reissued to a Acrobatic aircraft in 2003, I wonder if the owner of that aircraft knows the history of the number? The accident happened in March of 1987 at the Charleston, WV airport. |
Re: Aircraft pics
Steve, the next time I drive by Linköping, where they still build SAAB aircraft, I have to take some pics. They have old fighters on display by the highway, so I just have to sit on the passengerside with my camera ready.

Re: Aircraft pics
Closer look at the C-17 I posted pics of https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...lanes/C17b.jpg This 1/9th scale radio-controlled C-17 model was built in the United Kingdom. To date it has about 20 flights. It was built as the centerpiece of a 15 program television series produced in the U.K. for the Home and Leisure satellite TV channel. Built with the aid of three friends, it took one year to build and is powered with 4 Jetcat P-120 turbines with a total thrust of 108 lbs. The models weighs over 250 lbs fuelled, and carries 12.5 liters (3.3 US gallons) of 95% kerosene and 5% turbine oil fuel. Ot! her det ails include 5 Futaba PCM receivers, 16 battery packs (93 cells), 20 Futaba servos, on board air compressor, electro/pneumatic retracts, etc. Wingspan is 20 feet 8 inches, and the top of the fin is 74 inches (6 feet 2 inches) above the ground. Takeoff weight is 264 lbs. The rear cargo doors open and they drop an r/c jeep on a pallet, as well as 2 free-fall r/c parachutists. The model also has smoke systems both of the inboard turbines, and uses 2.4 GHz data link to provide real-time data to a laptop computer on the ground while in flight, this data includes airspeed, turbine RPM, EGT, fuel consumption, etc. It is covered in fiberglass and epoxy resin. Built mainly from balsa and ply, with many glass and carbon fiber moldings to reduce weight. This C-17 Globemaster III is one of the largest jet models in the world today! Complete with retractable landing gear and pneumatically operated flaps |
Re: Aircraft pics
Jeff,
That's an awesome model. You gotta respect that level of craftsmanship & work. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif |
Re: Aircraft pics
Where's the hanger for that thing? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
Takes a crew of 3 to fly, and a ground crew as well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Strong effort! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Carry on... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |
Re: Aircraft pics
I saw a few years ago on the net where i guy was making small working models of harleys (they were about 20" long). Now i can't find any info, has anyone ever seen it?. Also is there anybody making any miniture versions of real working car engines?

Steve, unfortunately I passed them on the near side of the road in darkness, and on the far side in daylight with the sun in bad position.
Anyway, here they are: Viggen (a seabird)and Draken (the Dragon). |

Re: Aircraft pics
Another sad day here on Long Island, they flew in an early model F14-B Tomcat (without any fanfare at all)to Farmingdale Republic airport, pilots taxied it to the parking ramp and let it idle until it ran out of fuel. A few hours later, gutted out the engines, fogged the canopy and it is going to be the new monumnet over at Northrop Grumman a few miles away. That plane is truly the Musclecar of modern fighterplanes SULLY

Yessir...some of 'em aren't the greatest scans, 'cause I guess the pictures are deteriorating, but I'll put 'em up just the same in a couple minutes...the old man is at the other office today, so you can see what happens when I run the show! LOL!!
