KELMO Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 OK, so I just get to see smaller, slower aircraft. Not quite as cool as some of the stuff others post here, but kinda cool none the less. 3 Quote Link to comment

VFR800 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 An RAAF Avro Lancaster being loaded up with 4,000lb "cookies" in England, September 1943. A Lancaster could carry twice the bomb load of a Boeing B17, and included the 22,000lb "Grand Slam" bomb for special targets which was the length of a Spitfire fighter. It was the most powerful non-nuclear bomb used in warfare until 2017 3 Quote Link to comment

Yes, people used to dress to the nines when traveling by air [and cross continent rail]. Now you are lucky if they are wearing pajamas and flip flops. Lets not go in to the screaming brats running up and down the aisle on the red eye flights !!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
