No small amount of Cord in that.

You can keep all you knobs, switches, dials, and buttons. The simple cockpit of a J-3 Cub is as close to Heaven as most of us can get.

I remember my first flight. The terror. The exhilaration. It will never leave me. Never. I'm 39 and I still look up.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson :

Yup. My coworker and I went to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum yesterday after work. They were doing pilot check rides. The museum was quiet so we had a volunteer tour guide to ourselves. He took us out onto the tarmac to watch them fire up the engines then take off. Very cool.

They replaced the A with a G on the fuselage to honour Guy Gibson. With it being the 75th anniversary of the Dam Busters.

It has to be theirs. It's the only flying Lanc in North America, 1 of only 2 (if I remember correctly) left flying in the world.

I can only imagine the sound 4 synchronized Merlins gives you literal goosebumps.  I remember building Tamiya's dambuster Lanc model when I was much younger.

Pic not really related, but awesome anyway:

They sound incredible but we went to the Hamilton airshow a few years ago when they had the Lancaster, Mosquito, Spitfire and two Hurricanes flying in formation. What a sound! Poor picture hotlinked below.

Wow, I saw the Battle of Britain Memorial flight many times growing up in the UK, but I have never seen a flying Mosquito to my knowledge, unless I was too young to remember.

One year the had a Shackleton at Oshkosh. The sound of 4 Griffin V-12s turning 8 props is something else.

The museum is in the final stages of restoring an Avenger. Sweet jeebus is that thing ever big.

It's definitely a Russian hydrofoil ferry of some kind.  The bow looks slightly different from what you posted.

I believe the helo is an Mi-26.
