I think you nailed it, the tug (or driver) ran out of Vodka...
One more before I call it a Tuesday.

Is this the Pensacola Buffalo recently returned to Finland?

The P-40 is the old alpine fighter collections bird after engine failure and cartwheel through a paddock as they call it in NZ.Rebuilt and flying again.

Thanks Lightninglover!
There are some real treats in that thread.


Is the tree lifting up the nose of that?

I think I may need to check that link out.

About the Kingfisher, the one that is on the USS North Carolina. Wasn't that recovered from a wreck in Nova Scotia? Could that be the same aircraft? If not it sure could use a nice home!

Have you never had the urge to pull over and just grab a beer?

Had 1/2 price Vodka at the Holiday Bar!

Well dispersed and hidden in plain sight, must be an everyday thing as no one is rubbernecking.
The hard part is gonna be doing a power back with no T/R, danged ground crew can't even spot the thing correctly :lol:

You know what the best part of the photo above is. The guy in the Blue shirt. Hes looking up at a tree with the expression, " Whats wrong with this tree?" , the problem is hes looking at the tree next to the aircraft! He doesnt even take a second glance at the Mig parked between the 2 trees next to it!!!!

Thanks priceless!

Maybe if some the size of a 747 was parked there, hed notice!

Are you sure thats a guy and not a girls gym teacher? She looks like she might have a tattoo on her hip that reads '#2 diesel only'
Also noticed in the middle of all the Connie carnage two pix of Amelias ELECTRA sitting on it's belly after not quite getting off the ground in Hawai'i-quick! call TIGHAR, we may have found another zipper pull with a NEOLITE shoe sole attached-'Fred....Fred..can you hear me?...'

Crikey! The thread is over 90 pages long and all in French...

I found these on page 16:
When you right click on this one the caption states it is/was a P-47.
Is it? Is it still around?

Image

Any of our BF-109 fans recognize this one and care to share the details?

From page 3 of the thread:

And what about this one from page 6?

Looks like the Connie that was in Paraguay, and was rescued by Brazilians, restored, and now sits in one of their museums [Asas de um Sonho Museum, if I am not mistaken]


Saludos,


Tulio

Isn't that ME-109 the one found buried in Germany a few years back?

No, it was recovered from a lake.

This explains it all:

I saw a program on AMARC last night and there are, indeed, B1's stored there. It is part of a cost reduction plan by the Air Force. They are stored in what could be called "almost ready to fly" condition, if needed.
