One crashed here late 2012, sadly everyone perished. Air crash investigation finds de Havilland pilot Des Porter was lost
Interesting factoid about his combat in WWII Talk about a forward operating base.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Edwards_(pilot)
2008 I went to the Goodwood Revival in style. With a De Havilland Dove. Landing right in the center of action is something special. Image Unavailable, Please Login
And the flight from Dusseldorf/Germany was very smooth. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
There was (is?) a DeHavilland Dove parked on the line at Front Range Airport east of Denver for several years. Just sitting there, leaking oil.
Three of the Presidential CV-22s were parked on the ramp at Little Rock today for his trip here tomorrow. I'm not sure what time AF-1 will be arriving but I will probably just try and skip out of work early to avoid the mess. A couple of the Presidential helos have been flying around as well.

Had two at JFK yesterday, Obama and his helicopters landed (couldn't see AF1). Then I saw the dreamlifter landing on my way out. What an odd airplane.
Went is a rapide about 1976 from Mahe island in the seychelels to Praslin island where we landed on a dirt strip. Pilot said the plane had come from air zambia. Later it was repalced with a Islander and trislander. What I remember about the rapide ride was the single pilot sitting in the tapred nose and the wicker seats. Cant imagine it lastes too long in the humid seychelles climate.
Hello guys. Do plane's engines count on this thread? I have a lot of pics about planes and some of the first engines ever built. Sent from my F430 using Tapatalk.
Glad to hear that I can post them here I'll post them tomorrow - it's very late here. It's just the aeronautic museum located near Rome. Those engines are really fascinating! Goodnight to y'all! All the best Ares Sent from my F430 using Tapatalk.
The sculpture and sound of engines are fascinating be it a 32 HP Bristol Cherub or an R4360. It is an expression of man's successful use of physics that bloom into the excitement of sound and useful function.
These are the first planes that you can see outside the museum.
