A Chipmunk and a Sentinel

Hi guys!

Today we pulled the DHC-1 and the L-5 out in order to run them up a bit.

Stinson had been there since a very long time...

On the ground again.

The engine started without any problems, boy, I was happy to hear it clang again!

Nic eshots Ollie, I like the L-5 lift, neat idea.

Ollie, again, you are having to much fun :D

I, on the other hand, attended part of the Labrador retirement at CFB Trenton.

Are the Chipmunks rated for basic aerobatic maneuvers at all?

Thanks guys!

So, Eric, our guys are no longer flying that old airborne dump truck of a Labrador? Will the NAM get one??

Rob, DHC-1s are fully airbatics, but prepare to wash them often as they spit oil when you put them upside down.

Ok, but right now the only airworthy Warbird we have is the Focke-Wulf!

The rest is either grounded due to lack of insurance or awaiting annual!

:shock: :x
