I have been going thru my stamps and found more planes that I will scan and post as soon as I get some minor problems with my computer straightened out.

Hey, even I, a gal, like that chopper one--awesome! As a teen I used to be in the US Civil Air Patrol (I love a guy in uniform! ). Anyway, I got to ride in a B52 Bomber as a treat for working flight line umpteen hundred hours during a search and rescue. That's one very big plane! The old ones could fly some 8,000 miles without refueling--I know nothing about the newer B52's and their capabilities. They have got to be some awesome planes with all the newer tech stuff!


Thanks for posting!

Bandicoot thanks for showing these. Specially the Kiowa, I have been lucky enough to fly one of those. And I have got to fly in a Hornet as well with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

My first love of the flying machines was the Corsair.
Pappy Boyington brought us close air support useing them in WWII.
But yet I to like the thump thump sound of a rotor.

F4U
Those bent wings did the job.
I am always amazed that anybody ever flew in some of those conditions back then... and survived.
