    I posted the previous image of friend Lewis Shaw's Temco TT-1. Took this photo a little over a year ago. The aircraft was sold and then reacquired by Lewis after the new owner crashed it (fuel depletion). Lewis has three of these and previously had three P-51s and a large variety and number of other types. We've been close friends for nearly sixty years. For those who seek the ultimate in weekend flying and $500 hamburgers, the TT-1 (officially. named Pinto by Temco) is the way to go. I know where one's available if there's any interest. Good luck!

    I know that Temco also build an unsuccessful competitor to the T-34, and there was also a Super Pinto prototype that was supposed to have some combat capability, but did they design any other airplanes? I think that today most people only know them as the "T" in "LTV".

    Temco's most successful product was the Globe Swift (Globe was absorbed by Temco). Just over 1,500 Swifts were built. Temco also built a twin-engine modification for the normally single-engine North American Navion and a small production run of T-35 trainers (called Buckaroo's). A tricycle gear version of the T-35 called the Model 33 Plebe was the Beech T-34 competitor you mentioned. Only a couple were completed before the program was terminated due to lack of orders from the Navy (its intended customer). A front view of the Plebe is attached. The Super Pintos (there were several from various post-production mod operations) were all up-engined from the 950-plus lb. th. Continental J69 to the nearly 3,000 lb. th. GE J85 (CJ610). Because only 15 TT-1s were built (including the prototype), almost all were converted to the GE engine - and thus almost all became Super Pintos. About 7 of the original 15 aircraft are still flightworthy.

    I had a college professor who had worked for Globe. I forgot that they had been absorbed by Temco.

    All Photoshop... Not a real photo of something that actually took place.

    Its from when they flew together over NYC at the beginning of Covid. That being said, the photo is a bit misleading as they weren't all intermingled, the Thunderbirds were in a separate formation closer to the camera by quite a bit. (Hence why the F-16s look bigger than the F-18s)

    Not one cool airplane, but many. Kind of makes you sick to your stomach when you see a photo like this. Hawaii in 1946, WWII NAVY aircraft disposal.

    Subject of the Hawk 1/72 kit I once bought for 29 cents! Most production F.22s had a larger vertical tail with metal-covered rudder.

    Interesting video. Not a brake light to be seen throughout. Its like they expect airplane traffic.

    Freeway looks familiar. Know where it happened?
