    I believe what Hoser is saying, is that he really likes multi engine, propeller driven, offensive planes, the rarer the better? Man, Tigercats and black widows are some rare birds...

    Really interesting history with how Charles Lindbergh worked with forces using the P-38 to optimize performance and range. The range gains alone were pretty startling.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Walked into a hangar earlier today. This hangar usually has a beautiful P-51D in it. I like to go in and said hi to the owner and beg for a ride.

    Today there was two P-51Ds in there. And a P-40. And a F4U. And a G-21 Goose. Kinda boring.

    Then I saw it. One of three flyable remaining in the world. A DeHavilland Mosquito. My life is complete.

    Next month a Spitfire is supposed to arrive.

    The hangar owner doesent like pics taken because he doesent want everyone knocking on his hangar door so he asks us not to take pics. He is a really cool cat, so I agreed to not take any.

    Ahh a corsair, two ponies and wooden wonder...did you pass out from lack of blood to the brain because I would have. I would've bust my zipper then hit the floor with a grin on my face.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.

    I'd love to get to see a Mosquito in person. I'll post these pics I took last October at a CAF airshow.
