BJA814 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well since we haven't see a whole week above 50* since Thanksgiving, I'll really been itching for the warm weather again. I thought it might be fun to post up pics of what non-jeep activities you guys are looking forward this spring/summer. I can't wait to get back out fishing, and drag the camper around.

Pete M Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I just need enough heat to be able to tent without losing my feet to the cold. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEThomas Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This is our other hobby :D Camping is also part of this hobby for my son, but I have to come home for the night as my old bones would not work the next day if I were to sleep on the ground :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilotblake Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Not me in the picture. Full composite airframe, which I would not recommend as it flew maybe 40 times then a pushrod came loose and it slammed into the top of a tree then came crashing down to earth. Flew really nice though. Really hard to repair and rebalance unlike balsa. Scrapped the body and started over. And the Raptor 30 and a Dept. of Defense Chopper.

wolfpackjeeper Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 wow, you guys build the big pretty ones. I used to just make variations on an ugly stick or joy stick, ones that don't make you cry when you lose it to an aero competion. Then put the beefiest landing gear and the best motor I had available in. I never really just loved the building process, just the touch and go and dixie death competitions. Combat was fun too. I got into profile models, thinking about getting back into it actually. my next 6 months will be nothing but ground school and Nav school. I start in 2 weeks hopefully, will fly the T-6 texan2 for around 40 flights this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotblake Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 These T6s stayed the night on the way to Oshkosh. Put on a hell of a show when they left. Nothing like the sound of a big radial engine, let alone 5 in one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 close... http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=124 the new ones are a turbo prop. glass cockpit, martin baker ejection seat. Outperforms the older tweet jet trainer in every aspect. Fully Aerobatic, thing is almost as fast as our t-1 jet trainer. I do not have a good picture in photobucket, so I just linked to the AF fact sheet. those originals look great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 These T6s stayed the night on the way to Oshkosh. Put on a hell of a show when they left. Nothing like the sound of a big radial engine, let alone 5 in one spot. Been around T6's and warbirds all my life. Have a lot of time behind one actually. We at one point had over 50 of them on the field as all the South African imported ones (you'll see them with the bright orange cowls and yellow numbers on the side) were restored here. Got quite a few neat warbirds locally. Field was home to Scat VII (P51 Mustang) which was at one point claimed to be the "nicest" P51 flying and was the only flying Mustang that the Ace was still alive, but unfortunately we lost a good friend when he crashed it due to engine problems. RIP Jim! This was the last "cool" one we had. Been going to Oshkosh about every year of my entire life. Haven't been back since a good friend did this a few years ago. If you look close you can see my father in the pic. Sad thing is that the Avenger spend the night in our hanger 2 days prior. If your into warbirds I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to Warbird Digest. http://www.warbirddigest.com (yes I am connected :D ) I just want it to warm up so me the the little one can go putz around again in "her" plane. Blake the invite is always welcome if your in the area. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
