I meant “Thank you”.
WHHHEEEEE!
Just imagine the nose art Slug Signorino could conceive…
I’d love to see Sluggo’s nose art!
I got an e-mail from the paperclip guy. He suggested I start by trading a piece of birch bark since I live in Birch Bay. Wouldn’t that be a hoot? To trade and trade until a piece of birch barck becomes a Robinson or a Cessna?
Having Pratt and Whitney radials, they never leak oil. If it were a B-25 with Wright engines now …
None left.
Maybe you should start with something a little more valuable, like maybe a TV, and save a lot of time.
David Simmons: I keep forgetting. Did you fly B-26s?
For the heck of it, if you want to see those old birds flying…

The Sopwith’s a repro, alas… but so is the Fokker.
And they do go and fight in the sky. Snoopy always seems to beat the Red Baron, somehow.
The Volsin’s original, and so are most of the vehicles, like the Renault light tank.
If you’re in the area… it’s one of those things you really should see.
And A-26’s as well.
Well shoot. If Johnny gets an A-26, then I want a MiG-15 !
The ME 262 are a tad spendy, but I would also be a worthy member of the Straight Dope Royal Air Escadrille Wing.
I’m also collecting 5$ donations. As a bonus, if you donate to me you will be entered in a raffle for the leftover muffin that I was too full to finish for lunch today.
You’re welcome—no matter how you express it.

I recently had occasion to rewatch the film which presumably suggested 633squadron’s screen name. It’s actually not all that good (I can buy Cliff Robertson, because a number of US pilots continued to serve in the RAF even after Pearl Harbor . . . but George Chakiris as a Danish Resistance leader?); still, the score and (much of) the aerial photography are definite positives. But even if it were an utter catastrophe, I would forgive it—because it introduced me to the Mosquito.

Only they keep using the same shots over and over. But yeah, I’ve liked the Mosquito since I had a model of it when I was a kid.
