Request

Mon Nov 28, 2005 6:54 am

A couple of days ago I went to Palm Springs Air Museum and also to Chino's POF.

The angles for photography are miserable in some of the displays, and I would very much like to obtain clean shots of the following, for my collection.


Heinkel 100D
Seversky AT-12
Boeing P-26A


In keeping with my principle of respect for other's property, FULL photo credit will be provided to the owner of the photos.

Saludos,

Tulio

I sooooo envy you. I always count my blessings and having visited Chino is one of them! However, I would very much like to go back.

I don't know if I did any better than you, but here is what I have...

Let's just call this a gap-filler...

I did get to see it fly on another occasion, but I was between cameras at the time... :(

Thank you for the pictures.

Hi Colonel,
Nope, the Raiden was inside...

I've been looking at that fuzzy image of a four-blade prop over the wing of the AT-12 and frankly, I'm stumped.

By the way, there's a photo of an AT-12 with a broken main gear on Ebay right now:

It looks like the Super Corsair up on jacks to me.

Tulio,
If you are still in So. Cal a trip to the Mojave Airport might be nice. I was there the day before Thanksgiving and they had a P-51 and a Zero on the ramp. This is also home to Burt Rutan's Advanced Composites. Other planes: Antonov Colt, Grumman Tracker, Fougia, F-86. It is also where airliners go to die. There are also 4-5 Douglas Skywarriors. I took pics, so will try to post.
