[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Pretty cool, thank you for sharing. :D Wow! Neil Armstrong and Chuck Yeager in the same day. I've always wanted to go to EAA Oshkosh. I have been going to the EAA fly-in at Arlington, WA for a number of years now. Lots of Glasairs at the show since the factory making the kits is on the other side of the air field. I think that my favorite plane over the years has to be the reproduction of the Gee Bee R2 built by Steve Wolfe and flown by owner Delmar Benjamin. It is a much larger and more impressive plane than the flying prop they built for the movie [i]The Rocketeer[/i]. The replica shown in the film must be half the size of the original airplane and they got many of the design details totally wrong. Boy that plane is fast! Another airplane that I am fond of is a red Beach Staggerwing that shows up occassionally. Talk about drop dead gorgeous. I have never seen an airplane with a chrome spinner and chrome accents on the leather seats inside. Pity they don't make them like that anymore. All the Glasairs that surrounded it looked small and feeble. Although I would love to have a Glasair. [/QB][/QUOTE]
