We traded a Lysander for the B-24.

So, one of Canada's better military hardware deals.



I bet there were no politicians involved in that one.

Reminds me of the time on the range at Ft. Hunter Ligget in California. Only it was an F4D Phantomat Mach snot.

Stratolaunch @Stratolaunch

Welcome home to our newest addition to the air launch fleet, The Spirit of Mojave. The modified 747 was named by the Stratolaunch employees as a tribute to the passion of the Mojave aerospace community that has built and tested some of the world’s most unique aircraft. The Spirit of Mojave symbolizes expanded capability and reach to execute our hypersonic test mission. The aircraft spend a small amount of time on the ground to receive modifications for its new mission and is expected to be operational in the first half of 2024.

747’s are still cool after all this time.

I spent a few hours on janitorial duty, squirreled away in the rear fuselage of Haydon-Baillie's Sea Fury when he had it at the YVR CP Air hangar. Nice guy ... and a beautiful aircraft.

It is not unheard of that in certain rural areas along the train route locals use the fuselages for target practice, resulting in bullet holes that are then patched in Renton.

Still think that those 800 Max images need to be built as dioramas!
