Thanks Bill, I looked but somehow missed that info. My next (wish list) camera is the Canon 40D. I take it that 100-400L is that tan bazooka like lens that I see some guys have at the shows? :D

Correct, about $1400.00 new I think. I have a friend selling a hardly used one if your interested. That is now my rig, 40D + 100-400L. Good all around lens but not as good as a prime 300 or 400mm.

Can anyone post some interior photos of Danny's A-1E? I know this was an airplane that escaped to Thailand and was wondering how authentic the panel had remained.

I think the smartest move for me is to get a 3350 powered Sea Fury eventually, that gives me commonality of power trains and a fighter as well. That's for later, my main interest now lies with a C-45/AT-11 and a better global economy, not in that order.


Grabbin' yourself a work-horse for your squadron hmm? :wink:

Exciting to hear the possible acquisitions you may purchase in the future! It’s always nice to see what somebody with the actual money is thinking of doing.

A large one like that shouldn't be shipped in a container. you'll need a custom made frame or a large airplane like a Tupolev to ship it. The frame is the less expensive option on this one.
And for the adventurous guys amongst us, install xtra tanks and fly it home! That's something to tell your grandchildren!

Johan


adventure is flying a jet to England with tanker support etc......MADNESS might be a better descriptor! and one of the tanks would have to hold the oil...maybe 4 55 gallon drums in the hell hole hold?

High ISO=more grain

"The AD-4 was owned by Dick Bertea. HB is the initals of his wife who gave the A/C to him for a birthday gift IIRC. A/C was maintained by Pacific Fighters at Chino.
The AD-5 was restored by Pacific Fighters and Fighter Rebuilders finished it.
Rich"

Hey Rich,
Remember how F___ed up Dick's other Skyraider was?
