Until about the age of 14 I flew most of the equipment United Airlines operated - either on my Dad's lap or in the co-pilot seat. Then the hijackings started and the party was over.

WOW Tom.....great shots.
Also, very jealous right now lol. Thanks for adding these to the thread!
I have some T-28c time, but an A-4? Wow. I didn't even know there were any registered in private hands.
Still waiting for someone to make that one private Phantom flyable :-|

That may be a Mk.V Spitfire. The mystery plane #1 is probably a Dehavilland Vampire, but it could also be a Venom which looke almost identical but had a different engine.
Put me in the seat; kick the tires and light the fires!

I have to ask about the trip back from the Pacific on the Kardashan after the war. Did the crew get double rations? Your dad's site and the ship's site on the battles in the pacific are the best description of actions I have seen.

Yeah, it would be a gud jump platform, eh?

Tom,
Your picture of the A-4 brought back lots of old memories!

Gary, I wonder how many people on ST can imagine the experiences you had. The A-4 is a wonderful airplane. I just got a teaser taste of one; and wishing it wasn't created as a war machine.

Hank, if that is the Yampa, how long does it take to walk out of there?
