Merry Christmas Wallie, and Char, and Carole, and Amad, and Moe and me and VBlanco! and the whole world in general.
A good study of a business refusing service is a steak house two years ago in I think Tennessee, kicked O.J. out and his party of 25 that stayed was going to get crappy service. Wasn't going to serve murderers. O.J. wasn't convicted of murder but had to go.
I love warbirds. I get to check them out all the time, they visit other owners here and my kids back yard is 1/8 off the landing pattern and 1/4 mile before the runnway - Mustangs T-28's are very common. . The airport in town has two B-25's that base here. There is a company that builds replica MIGs and a few restoration companies too. During the airshow season a B-17 visits here but a B-24 and a B-29 comes to Reno. A 30 minute flight is about $600.00 though they didn't come here last summer I bet it was the price of avgas. The Reno Air Races in Sept. is a must if you love warbirds. Not only do they have 50 display aircraft on the tarmac that you can touch the races are amazing. There is nothing like sitting at the top of the grandstands looking back and up 10,000 ft and seeing and hearing 20 WW 2 fighters line abreast start their dive at you buzz over your head and out into the valley of speed for a ten lap race. Way fun.
My favorite type of all, and when I was a kid I had to keep it secret or I would of been little Adolf - Bf109 G-6. The inverted V-12 , the cannon that fires through the cylinder block. I'm a engine freak and the DB-604 is truly art. It still is my favorite and I plan on a vacation this summer to an airshow or visit the base for a flying example Bf109E in Canada. Last year I checked a Zero out in N. Dakota and want to see a Stuka in Wisconsin I so want to go to the fly inn there. I was born in Chino, Calif and they have a air museum and restoration facility that is world class, I got the war bird bug in a 1st grade field trip where I saw a P-40 with the AVG markings.
See what airplanes do! I could type all day! |
