Here's a Buckaroo.
Retractable gear, distinctive shape of the vertical tail. Looks like we need to keep guessing. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1587678676.jpg |

Here’s a Chipmunk. DH That fixed landing gear and more modern tail section keeps us looking. It’s similar to a home built Flybaby 2 also. |
Seeing the Chipmunk, I was reminded of Art Scholl and his Super Chipmunk. I had seen Art perform at a couple of airshows when I was young.

This is my airplane. A 2004 Cessna 182T with the Garmin G-1000 glass instruments. It has some nice looking wheel pants that it came with. My business partner hats the wheel pants and he bangs his shins on them. The mechanic that does the work on it hates wheel pants as it makes it a pain to inspect the brakes and wheel bearings. So the wheel coverings sit in the back of the hangar on a shelf. It does great for our aerial photography and mapping projects. |
^^ I've got about 10 hours in a late model 182S (as nearly all my other time is in helicopters), such a great, all around airplane. I'd love to own one.

Wish I could do this!

great documentary, love the editing. Kinda like Steve McQueen's "On any Sunday" about motorbike racing, same era Art Scholl worked on Top Gun, and crashed while doing a spin with cameras on board..Top Gun was dedicated to him as a result of that fatal crash. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/69G2F2MKlE8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Ahhh, PanAm. Sorry to lose them.

Watch this in a darkened room, full screen, with headphones. They did it right... pure... no music. Very impressive. Breathtaking when you realize the complexity of close quarter flying like this.

man those throttle adjustments are continuous.. several times a second..
I do have to wonder, risk if anything goes wrong with such a close formation ... over such densely populated areas. They are all amazing pilots, very highly trained.. but imagine a bird strike when they are that close... |

Both are 4-engine. The home of the most-produced B-24 in WW2, producing one airplane per hour at it's peak and 18,482 in total, the https://yankeeairmuseum.org/ doesn't have a single B-24 today after a great fire. (It does still have a flying B-25 and a flying B-17) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1589833539.jpg |
The PB4Y-2 Privateer was a naval derivative of the Liberator.
