Good stuff, thanks for sharing. 8)

The third plane you posted looks pretty sharp. Any idea what type it is, or is it a custom job? Too bad it isnt clearly identified like the Magister. :lol:

Nice shots!!!! I recognize everything except N414PM....The FAA says it's a PRUE II MG owned by GERALD GIDDENS. I guess a homebuilt? What a trim little ship. The tail looks like the polish tri-gear but I can't recall the name....plus it's not a tandem like this one. Any info?

I talked to the guys who own the plane but cant remember the name (meyer motorglider?) I mentioned about how the length of the wings reminded me of a U-2 and they said it was designed by one of the U-2 team. The wings on this plane are so long that they actually fold in half. As you can see by the pic,it is a very beautiful plane and almost blinding in the so-cal sun. I sure wish I was in the midwest having fun in the snow.Maybe Prue motorglider

I always considered Tulsa to be in the South (compared to Chicago)... Where is that Mason-Dixon line again?

Looks like somebody crossed a swift with a Mooney and then stretched it out.
