KiloTango1200 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 This is what happens when you try to skip out on your slip bill at the Cabo San Lucas Marina. You get 2 missiles because you didn't leave a tip. 2 Quote Link to comment

KiloTango1200 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hey Z-train, this look familiar? Collings Foundation visited the Denton airport this week. A good turn out despite the weather and happening in the middle of the week. The world's only dual control P-51 Mustang. Made about 6 flights at $2200.00 for an hour. UH-1 Huey that was a Marine Corps gunship in Vietnam. The pilot was really good. When I parked him, he flew a 90 deg. quarter circle around me with the nose of the aircraft pointed straight at me the whole time. He maintained the exact same distance from me during the whole maneuver. One of the ground crew said he likes to show off. I was impressed, and that takes a lot! The B-17 and the B-24. I love the way these big round motors belch smoke on start up. Nose of the B-24 Cell phone cameras give spinning propellers a unique look. [/url] 4 Quote Link to comment

KiloTango1200 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Now THIS is airplane porn. I've been in the business for 35 years and have seen a lot of polished aluminum airplanes. I have never seen an aircraft that had a mirror finish everywhere it is not painted. This thing takes an insane amount of labor to keep it in this condition. A Cessna 195 at my buddies Mat and Phil's shop at the Denton TX airport. Bottom of the right wing. Bottom of the right wing. You can see the rivet line going from the lower left to the top right of the picture. Like a mirror. Same view a little wider. Same view with a couple of inspection plates in the frame. Still bottom of the right wing. Reflection of a 1958 Cessna 172. Newest aircraft in the shop. Baggage door. Right fuselage reflection of the Stearman in the shop for maintenance. Left fuselage reflection of Phil's Cessna 195. I am over 50 years old. I have never taken a "selfie". I really don't understand the popularity and really think it is dumb youngsters doing it. After inspecting this incredible piece of machinery, I lost all my selfie control! 7 Quote Link to comment
