Low pass series, Episode 20240319:

"How to operate a Blackburn Buccaneer, low level strike aircraft: Open throttle, reach take off speed, raise undercarriage, go to full throttle, descend to operating altitude."

In a glider low pass, all you hear is the high pitch scream of air passing over the wings.  Pretty cool.

Am I doing this low pass thing correctly?

Kids!

$37.

Wifey is on the couch with the flu, watching ol B&W movies.   A white car showed up on Perry Mason, not part of the story and only in one scene.  GoogleFu shows that it was George Barris' 1963 Buick Villa Riviera.  

Does Perry Mason use cars for props or was Barris spreading the word by volunteering cars to Hollywood?

B&W photo is from Mason show.  Looks like it's been painted a few times.

Well, I'm sure you could make a diy version for less than 1/4 the cost. 

And you'd get to eat the corn, too.

I can't answer your specific question, but that car is now owned by my friend Jeff. It's part of his private collection in RI, and is now back to candy apple red. It had been featured in at least one movie back in the sixties.

Dear Bob.  This was my father's pride and joy:

He would be absolutely spinning in his grave if he saw that.

This one's not so bad:

In reply to Duke :

I am guessing you realize that that is the Tremor Brothers car from the movie Smokin' Aces (a pretty wild movie).  It was one of Chris Pine's (the one on the right and below) first movies.

Yes, I specifically searched that out.

Right turn, Clyde.
