Warbird Information Exchange

For any Cessna UC-78 / Bobcat lovers amongst us, you really ought to check out this thread on another forum. It's pretty neat. http://www.military-meshes.com/forums/s ... hp?p=37619
I'm still interested in pictures of similar aircraft in the war zones. Several of these aircraft were assigned to liaison squadrons.

Sky King had one of the old Bamboo Bombers.........."I think I just gave my age away here )))"

I loved the one the CenTex Wing once had. Only drawback was the wooden spar, which was the downfall of N64513, the UC-78B that is now with the National WASP Museum in Sweetwater, TX.

Oh, my, the ol' Bamboo Bomber. I've been in love with this aircraft ever since I read Richard Bach's article about James Kramer and his T-50, back in 1970. (How's THAT for showing my age ... )

One year later, at Oshkosh, no less than Bette Bach herself introduced me to both James and the T-50 in question. Quite a thrill for a 15-year old kid. That was Oshkosh in the early days ...

I couldn't wait for every Sunday @ Noon so I could watch 'SKY' and Penny. i found the series online earlier this year, 63 programs, I remember a fair number of them, I was flabberghasted to see how lousy the acting was in them, but at the time, there were very few airplane oriented programs on TV. Pretty heady stuff for an 8 year old kid-
and I don't mind showing my age, after all, I was on the committee for dust
