Airplane in the photos above is a C/KC-97, no doubt.

Airplane in the photo being used as a house on the previous page is a Curtis C-46.

Lots different in the two birds, the C-46 was a two engine workhorse used during and after WW2, while the C/KC-97 is strictly a post-WW2 airplane.

Getting cold, time for a sweater for the wife:

cool plane stuff. More? Or should we just go back to hot chicks, or maybe even more random. I'll see what I can do with google pics

screw the sweater... time for *that* wife! :D

The weird thing is she looks like my wife.......and I was looking for a sweater for her.

Hell, I'll take both!

How about all three?

Count down for Zman

Craig - is that your car? And who's the babe?

MASRAUM - what is that twin engine jet? And is that cannard B-17 a fake?

Nah, not mine - it was a pic from UK Ebay.

Thank tcar... I wouldn't have gone looking if he hadn't mentioned the C-46 originally.

B-17 is photoshop.
The B-57 is one of two operated by NASA for "research".
The Martin B-57 is an American version of the English Electric Canberra.

From Wikipedia:
WB-57F - Weather reconnaissance version.
Two WB-57F aircraft were transferred to NASA and are the only WB-57s still flying in the world today. They are used for atmospheric research and for monitoring Space Shuttle takeoff and landing.

emphasis added

Steve, I was down your way last summer for work. Since I had the only car I couldn't break away. They had some cool stuff down there.

Every aviation enthusiest should be able to discuss this photo.

What's so special about it? ;)

Les, while the Stratocruiser DID have the same bulge as the C46, check out the windshield configuration, plus the side view clearly showing the patch over the door PLUS the shape of the side window. The Stratocruiser was a great bird as well, but our "mystery house" is a C46

Craig, was that your wife?!! Sweet, can you put her in contact with my wife? I need her to explain how important it is to lie naked on the hood of my car constantly.

I wish it was ;) But I am lucky, as she is 36D..... too much information :p

Hmm, looks like we are looking from an inverted position downwards 1) Plane 2) Clouds 3) Terrain

My guess is Marion Cole, who used to fly some amazing displays in his Aero Commander and did the best "drunken J3 pilot" routine ever. He lives here in my town (SHV) and still teaches aerobatics. If you never read his brother Duane's book "Roll around a point", you're really missing out. He's always hanging around the EAA hangar @ our old downtown airport.
