Great pics....love seeing more anytime! .

I've always wanted a Beech Bonanza....something about that cool V-tail and aluminum mix? . Make mine a first year '47....no paint, just the bare aluminum w/ stripes. .

On another note, I read last week how the Seattle Flight Museum has bought that old Trans-Canada Air Connie in Toronto that was an restaurant for a while, now there's a big fight on about it leaving Canada? . The Seattle group has a static resto planned even in the original Trans-Canada paint yet now they're being treated like they're stealing a national treasure and no one here wanted it for years and years? . It's disassembled now for shipping and the fight is on....I hope positive things happen soon as it just deteriorates further as time goes by.

So does anyone know what aircraft Yenko was into, ever flew or what he owned himself? .

I've got some video footage of a B-29 (Fifi, I believe) when it came in at Van Nuys a few years ago for an air show. I guess it's the only one flying until Boeing finishes the one they're restoring. It had a problem with an exhaust valve on #3 engine on take off, so it had to land and stay for a few days while it was repaired. There's something about the sound of those 4 radial engines running. I love them. I'll have to transfer it and make some quick time clips.

Allright Bart, I'm biting!

What's with the B1 in for foreground? It's not taking off,
so what gives?

And, why is there a Delorean in the background?

From what I understand the crewcheif forgot to close the foward fuel tank and overnight all the fuel shifted to the rear. Crazy looking.

That's an expensive aircraft to be goofing over.
Somebody's loosing a strip or two for that!
