When I lived in a hangar apartment at KDWH in Spring Texas. I miss that place, an RV6 taxiing by my C6 Vette. 

That's an Extra 300L!

Great to see you all.

sallee - that was great. A man not to be messed with.

 

Eco-dragon - I didn't know the Pitts could fly in the martian atmosphere. Interesting what you learn on flight sim forums.

 

BTW, did anyone else think Ecodragon's second picture was of him widdling? I scrolled UP to it, which may explain my thought-processes.

 

Seren - what kind of bikes did you sell? Motorbikes or proper ones?

Seren, you look like the lead (French) female role in "The Tunnel" (ABC 2130 Sunday Nights). Typical Brit bloody good show.

This Fox is a stunt glider and hell it was a fun flight! This expirience was totally amazing. I've not only made spins with it, but also pulled barrel rolls and even loops (with my flight teacher being scared for his life :wacko::lol: ).

 

I totally recommend this expirience (just be warned to mind your stomachic) :P .

Got to spend some time in Berlin and Prague a few years back when I was an athlete, pretty awesome experience.

Couldn't help but notice we have some bike fans in our community, so I thought I would share this. Believe it or not, this used to be a "Bratz" bike! My son and I decided to convert it to an electric, olive drab military style, pedal bike :)

That is a bayer. Pretty malty. A touch of caramel. Not especially bitter I would say, but still, more interesting than a light lager. I do prefer bayer over pilsner.

 Oh! Automatic refuelling and everything. High tech!;)

no, it is the Corsair in Chino CA, that they take out and fly from time to time, that just happen to be one of the days they were flying it

You were lucky then! I love this awesome monstermachine. I saw it once flying in the mid80's on an airshow in germany. I was not older than 10 back then, but I remember it very well!:-)

Great picture, ACEOFACES :)

Here I am, as of now.

Here's one of me from this summer on a 'business trip' to the Canadian Rockies. Awesome, awesome place. Just loved it.

I'm on the left.

 

EDIT: Just shrunk down the photo size a little.

Not just then, I grew up near Chino airport, and chino has been restoring WWII planes for ~50 years.. As a kid, it was 'no big deal' to see a P-38, P-51, B-25, etc fly over my house as I was mowing the lawn or feeding the horses. As a kid I just figured that is the way it was everywhere, we use to ride our bikes, horses, or motorcycles down to Chino and watch them take off and land. It was not until I got older that I realized how lucky I was to grow up where I did. These days Chino has dozens of 'flyable' WWII airplanes, and every month (2nd Sat of the month) they do a mini  airshow  and fly one of them. They also have the annual airshow that is 2nd to none, where they get all the flyables and more up in the air. That and some of the planes are privately owned, and the owners will regularly take the planes out and fly them down to San Diego for lunch, which my old house just happened to be in that flight path, which is why it was no big  deal to see a WWII plane fly by from my house.

forgot the Chino link

That's up pretty high. Where's the photo taken. Near Kobe? I never made it over there.
