I fixed your link. Nice aircraft, I think nearly all are American-made. I especially like the Souix helicopter, as seen in MAS*H (early 1950s).

We have a few of those too. Sssshhh! (I like airplanes)

Nice pics John… I kinda laughed at that simulator, my dad trained in one of those during WWII :wink:

Gotta love the A-10’s and F14’s though… nice pic of the EZ too :slight_smile: You fly?

What’s an EZ?

Trivia about the A-10, that’s from Fairchild/Republic, formerly of Farmingdale, New York. Unicycling Society of America founder Bill Jenack worked there most of his adult life. He had a lunch-hour group of unicylcists, and you can see in Jack Wiley’s old books a picture or two of them all on their unicycles, n their “engineer uniforms” of white shirts with ties. Unfortunately that company is long gone now.

I’m not a pilot but I have done a bit of flying for fun. Last year I got to fly this plane (a T-6) through a couple of loops and other maneuvers. Major fun!
