This was taken at our camp in the Adirondacks...the pilot is Tom Payne, Payne's Air Service, Inlet, NY. He and his dad run a float plane business out of 7th Lake...flying with these guys is better than gong on the space shuttle.

The plane in the photo is a Cessna 206 Station Air....they also have a 185 Skywagon. The Station Air has a longer body and is a little wider interior...we can haul a lot of gear in that baby.

Will be flying with these boys in a couple of weeks.

I am considering building a T-51 with the LS-3 when I get done with my latest car restoration.

That's going to be a big departure for me. In the meantime "American Patrol" set to warbird images looks about right.

Classic music...some of the best ever done IMHO. We have a drop tank from a P51 up in the woods...the boys used each half to make a small boat...added outriggers to keep it stable. They are still up there in a secret place where the fish always bite

Yes. Miller captured the feel of piston engine dog fighting with that song pretty well.

Very fine weather there!

Not on the same scale as Rick's adventures in the P-51, but got to play with this Chipmunk yesterday. Gave it a good bath and taxied it around to familiarize myself with the cockpit/controls. Plans are to get checked out in it this month.

Thought I would share. I was working with the B25 Berlin Express over the weekend selling rides to everyday people as well as Vets and took the opportunity to try and replicate a shot of my dad taken 40 some years ago. This exact airplane was used on the 1970 film Catch 22.
