The movie "Fly Boys" is perty good when it comes ta the bi's that were being used early on in the war.  Fer anyone who likes the WWI stuff, it's worth a watch.

I did a WWI film as an English class project there back in 1974.  They had a lot of older WWI aircraft then.  They also had a Mitsubishi A6M Zero.  It buzzed the crowd when no one was expecting it! 

Uh... was it intentional?

Arcey, sounds like the place in Pungo is shaping up to a be a real showplace for aviation fanatics.  Pretty incredible for what used to be a crop duster field and a place to launch the planes that fly the banners over the oceanfront.

They don’t look ta be slowin’ up none, cuz.

Don’t wanna think whut the buildin’ cost. Now they’re puttin’ up more stuff. Saw they’re gettin’ grants from a few universities. Ya’d think they’d spend some ta advertise. The day I went ta look there weren’t no one there ta amount ta anythin’. Never hear nuttin’ of it unless there’s an article in the rag. Nothin’ on local TV news. The village idiot is afraid ta talk of anythin’ local durin’ ‘is show on NIS. Sad waste of radio air time.

We got a great Air Museum in N. Dallas called Cavanaugh's Museum of Flight.  Mr. Cavanaugh made a fortune in the software business.  He has used this fortune to purchase Aircraft and build a facility to maintain and display them. The collection covers replicas of WW1 aircraft, restored WW2, Korean War, and Vietnam aircraft. As fair as I know, most are flown, except maybe the WW1 planes.   www.cavanaughsmuseumofflight.com

There is a copy (or two) running around on Super-8 (with seperate mag track).  I would have to digitize it and sync up the audio track.

Videos of those Air Shows are almost as good as being there.  I always enjoy going out to Midland,Texas in the fall to watch the annual CAF Airsho.

Used to be a company called Arrow, in Lincoln, that made airplanes. Did some searching, made two models, one a bi-plane, they have one hanging from the ceiling at the airport.  Other one, a little later model was a mono-plane, used and interesting engine:



Yep a modified ford flattie.
