Can't believe it's been around for that long. Wonder if it'll match service life of the B-52 馃

Probably didn't have enough time to warn the hangar crew that aggressive evasive maneuvers were about to commence. One can only imagine all the other stuff shifting around in the hangar and in other compartments aboard the ship. Imagine a dentist on board doing work on someone when this started up. Ouch!

路路Melbourne AustraliaThey usually broadcast over the ship's PA when they're about to execute a rapid change.
I suspect the hangar movement crew didn't have enough time to react if they were half way through a repositioning.
Most of the stuff in the hangar would be secured, and all aircraft and ground support equipment would be lashed down until they needed to be moved or used.

路Hello guys im new to this thread!
And im happy that it exists! My Name is Jan and i鈥榤 from Germany. I鈥榤 a Aircraft mechanic and private pilot. For me aviation and watches belong together. When i鈥榤 Flying i use my Messerschmidt chrono. I know its a quarz but it is one of the First watches i bought myself. I鈥榤 also into watchmaking and so i upgraded it a Little Bit. Maybe you can see the colour dots on the Dial and the seconds hand. So it is readable better for me.

Love the Seamaster MC as well. I like the vintage vibes together with good legibility of the dial. The Messerschmitt is functional, but I might struggle to carry it off with my slender wrists!

路路Melbourne AustraliaThat first pic triggered a memory for me.
As a very young student pilot going for my PPL I had to do a cross-country (with instructor) from Albion Park to Bankstown.
During a break before we headed home, I had a wander aound Syd Marshall's hangar. Lots of interesting stuff on the ground, but when I looked up I got a shock.
A BF-109 was hanging up in the rafters of the hangar! Much like the "Schniederglider" in the same pic.
And in an amazing coincidence, that flight I made was in a 172 馃槈.

That Me-109G looks immaculate. Would be very special to see it flying. Here in Australia, the most common WW2 aircraft seen flying at airshows are the Spitfire, Mustang, Curtiss Kittyhawk and North American Harvard.

路Nice pics and thanks for sharing. I used to fly the Piper Cherokee PA-28 many years ago. Very occasionally the C172.

At Minute 15 you can See it fly.
