kasper Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sure beats some of the crappy, dangerous or mind-numbing jobs I had. I still spent 4 years on the checkout at Coles ...
facthunter Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sleek isn't it for a rotary engined EinDecker. Nev
Old Koreelah Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sleek isn't it for a rotary engined EinDecker. Nev This beautiful aeroplane was many years ahead of the pack in streamlining. It set a world speed record -before The Great War. 1
kasper Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Deperdussin monocoque- very unusual upper wire frames and the undercart legs mark it out. Plus it was one of only a handful with the very large nose dome on the engine.

Plus it was one of only a handful with the very large nose dome on the engine. Right again, Kaspar. I'll have to find some much more obscure aeroplanes! These pix come from my first flight book, which I received over fifty years ago. If you check out my avatar (my D918) you'll see the Deperdussin made quite an impression.

kasper Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 But it’s triple weird - inflatable pedal powered flying wings are NOT on every corner. And this one actually flew
pylon500 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Wasn't sure where to put this one... "So you think you've got parking problems?" 1

Marty_d Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 ... designed and built by prayer and donations by a bunch of Missionaries ... Is that why they put the engines on backwards? 1
old man emu Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Is that why they put the engines on backwards? Like their collars? 2
biggles Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 You'll notice it's only got 1 wing ......... that's called, " on a wing and a prayer " ...... Bob 1
old man emu Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 The Lord is my co-pilot. I often call on His assistance during crosswind landings in turbulent conditions. Many's the time I've called his name when a gust has hit the lower wing just as I flare ' "Jesus Christ!!!!!!" 2
nomadpete Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Don't waste your time calling His name. He's just sitting back laughing at you. Who do you think sent that gust anyways? 1 1
Vev Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Ok Guys ... what is this aircraft and double points for the car, which I really don't know what it is. 1
