Beautiful.
You mentioned it being slow. So what's the cruising speed? The Piper Cherokee Archer I used to fly cruised at 120KIAS.

 

It cruises around 65-70 MPH. I’m lucky to keep up with cars on the highway, and I really never fly it above 1000 AGL. Not a traveling airplane by any means, but I’m going to try and make Oshkosh with it next year!

I also belong to a flying club with a 1965 Cherokee 180 that we recently upgraded with a full Garmin suite. That is a great traveling airplane that is super capable in IFR.

 

It might not be a travelling airplane but it sure looks like fun! And fun is what flying is all about IMHO. Good luck with making it to Oshkosh. Hope it doesn't take too long

 

One time, I was flying a Super Cub with a buddy. Draggy beast, it was. Had 31" tundra tires, canted mount, 180hp, leading edge slats, Fowler flaps, etc etc...

Pointed in into the wind for some slow flight and the GPS got angry... because we were flying backwards

 

She's a beaut! Where are you based?

 

I see you have all played 'I will name that plane'. For a bit of Sunday fun feel free to guess which aircraft these are from (both famous planes).

Its been pointed out due to my poor eyesight one of the above is a bit easy :0)
I was lucky to catch the two unusual bed fellows below up at the same time last week and It did make me wonder who would win a fight... I suspect the Apache?

That AH-64 is so ugly the Earth repels it

The HA.1112 isn't a beauty either, functional I guess.

 

A bit harsh ... their Mothers love them / they both have striking lines. I still wonder if speed or firepower and technology would win out... so I vote Apache in a head to head....
The HA.1112 sounds better :0)

I want to thank this thread for helping me negotiate the procurement of a motorcycle.

My wife, being a physician and risk adverse: what are you reading?

Me: about a bunch of pilots with small planes; I think I want to get my pilot’s license

Her: fuck that - I’d rather you have a murder-cycle

Me: [goes in for kill]

 

Glad to be of service to you, my friend! Well-played on the home front

 

This, friends, is why I never fully explain my fly fishing trips in Alaska

 

OMG that's tough.
Top one is the Supermarine Spitfire?
No clue on the bottom one.

 

The Germans didn’t use Spitfires. But I have no clue as to what it is.

 

I’d never noticed how prominent this feature is up front, nor that it came equipped with a certain wristwatch …

 

I thought that was the hard one... yes 100% correct = Spitfire Mk1. I can see this is an audience with a good eye :0)

 

Good spot ... yes it needed long gear to keep that long (and beautiful) nose up.

 

It turns out they did have a dabble and the combination of the both had the best performance.... lucky the war ended when it did.

As the saying goes: "Always read the fine print".
Applies to watches as well

 

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
