Warbird Information Exchange

I like the other War Birds: Fokker Triplane, D.VII, D.VIII- Nieuport 17, 28- SPAD- Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. As for WW2, I've flown L-1, L-2, L-3, L-4, and L-7. Anybody got an L-5 and/or L-6 I can borrow?

Flew a Waco UPF-7 from Anchorage, AK, to Creve Coeur, MO back in '92.

Also, Comm. Inst. MEL, Comm. Glider, Comm. gyroplane.

And I had some rides in Kermit's Mosquito back in the good old days (1990), including an aileron roll over Wisconsin.

I remember Dan Saying that some folks might try to claim piloting skills they don't have. I have no idea what you people are talking about, so I tend to think you are using that secret pilot handshake and decoder ring to make sure you're all legit

T-37, T-38, USAFR C-130 IP, ATP: 737, 757, 767, DC-9, Flight Engineer Turbojet, CFII, IGI, AGI. Currently fly a pseudo-Mustang (RV8) for fun.

Have a few hours in the B-25, Twin Beech, and T-6 back seat. My most cherished stick time would be a toss up between an exchange flight I made in an F-15D and the 30 seconds I got to reach through from the rear bulkhead to "fly" Hank Avery's A-1E.

Multiple ratings and lotsa hours.

I think I got you Baldeagle. L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,L6,and L8. Missed the Monocoupe. L5s are fairly abundunt, the L6 and L8 will be a little tougher.

What's the difference between the L-6 and L-8? Engine?

Ken,

Where did/do you fly Hercs and airliners?

Student pilot, soloed.

The L6 was a purpose built Observation plane, not just a rehashed Interstate Cadet. The L8 was a stock Cadet which were sent to Bolivia on lend lease. Only 13 IIRC were sent.

Got me beat - I'm at PPSEL... with the same issues.

Still, I have right seat time in a Ford Tri-motor... and some stick time in T-34, T-28.

ATP CFII MEI DPE & Warbird Slut.
Bombers, Transports, Fighters, Trainers, and anything else with a propellor that's left unattended with gas in it.......

A passer by at Reno observed Stew Dawson and myself enjoying a cool adult beverage and remarked, "There's a couple warbird whores!" Stew replied quickly in typical Texas drawl, "Rozy, he's wrong, we ain't whores, were sluts. Whores get paid."
