[sixtiesrelic]

I felt sorry for the poor little bugger

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

did you do that!?!? poor Kermit

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

That's funny. I think he is enjoying that :D

 

What's the plane?

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Glenn 1 (heh)

 

As you will find out one decade, old people like 60's and me do strange things sometimes, Its perfectly acceptable to us. It could be a new secret military probe! :shock:

I DIDDDN'T do it! I just saw it and felt sorry for him and took his photo.

 

It's a Cessna 195

You didn't eh? Ok I believe you. Betcha it was some generation X person! You know what they can be like.

 

How old is the plane? Where is it located?

 

What a magic plane. Have you any other pics of it?

 

 

[sixtiesrelic]

It's been at Redcliffe for probably fifteen years.

 

Not sure of it's age... it's sort of forties.

 

The most magic thing about it is, it has WIND UP windows... Real class!

 

I think the Fairchild Argus (Looks similar) has them too.

 

I'll have a look when I'm home for other pickies.

 

The engine is back on now... he bought a nice new zero hour engine, new prop and undercarriage legs for her.

That's gold, are there any other crazy pitot heat tube covers out there... like 8 balls?

 

 

[sixtiesrelic]

My cousin tells me it's quite common to use soft toys as pitot covers.

 

THers's an engineer in Perth who does it on a number of his aircraft.

Ok, Ok, I know we're not looking at a pitot cover, but it's in the same ball park.

 

Just don't tell PETA about it:wink:

 

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

Is that fox or wolf?

 

Is the plane a skyfox?

 

Put two eyes above the spinner and a mouth below and it looks like a big mo :biggrin:
