Plane talk

[YAK411976]

Ok there's a thread for car talk, but I'm a bit of an aviation but too. Thing is as a preference in terms of looks, not just performance I like the older 1950s 60s age. A time when the heart agree was starting and you had much more variation in designs. Myself I love the MiG-15 and MiG-21, though a Buccaneer on the deck is a sight to behold. The ten series fighters though cool aesthetically don't do it for me so much. The soviets also managed to build them pretty.

Now if only I could own a war bird.

Well this isn't talk, since I know nothing about planes. But here's a little boost for your thread.

Well thanks I'd take that on my bonnet any day.

There's a guy here in Florida who promotes using the Corvair engine to power planes.

Copycat.

Great minds think a like.

I've seen Flankers up close in Russia, along with,the Mig 31 right over the garden. Would love the old Bear to come rumbling over.

My Dad only got as far as T37s They booted him with an honorable discharge after a year in service because he kept blacking out in expensive airplanes.

He used the GI bill to finish off his private pilots license and was multi-engine instrument rated.

I've told the story before but I used to take off in his boss's twin-engine Piper Comanche assisted only on the pedals when I would go with him on maintenance hops. I was 5.

I finally got to land a plane 30 years later. Happened to be that same model airplane. I am fond of them. The early ones like the one I flew (including the more recent ones) were made in 1965. They did not have the counter rotating props the later ones had.

I love planes. I work on them. I want to build one. They fascinate me. My absolute favorite plane is the F4. Not the Phantom, although I do really enjoy the looks of that. I mean the F4U Corsair. Those wings... that engine... It's amazing.

I love the Corsair as well. Baa Baa Black Sheep was one of my all time favorite shows.

The upsweep of the wing looks "right." The Comanches don't have the bend but I like that they are slightly upswept too.

It is a sweet little plane.

Pipers are just good looking in general. That low wing looks better than most planes Cessna makes for GA. Not a fan of the high wing.
