Waitress said it had "moose" inside.

Last time I had moose was in Minnesota. Tasted similar to camel.

How to Make an MD-87 Water Bomber

1) Find an MD-87 sitting around somewhere; such as N826TH.

2) Put in some engines.

3) Repair any major fuselage cracks with duct tape. 

4) Re-register as N291EA, and add water. Viola! Instant water bomber!

And thanks to Russell Hill for use of his photo. He has some nice work on JetPhotos, including many from Hillsboro. You can see his pictures here .

We found some old slides. This one will eventually be restored and put on display at the Smithsonian Institution.

But what happened to N509DA ?

Here you go ...

Thanks to Botterman Bram for the use of his picture. He has some "museum quality" pictures of his own on Airliners, and you can see them here .

Fixing this required use of a large crane.

The car was fully loaded, of course.

Always a good idea to "lock the switch."

Hangar One Vodka Review

It's very good.

It's made in an old hangar at an abandoned airfield (NGZ).

And it has a blimp on the label.

Smooth and neutral.

We might even like it better than Tito's, which was recently named the official vodka of United Airlines.

We don't care much for the Challenger. They look like commuter planes.

Don't care for the Astra either. Like Rockwell Commanders, but the wing is wrong.

Airplane Spotter

Today we pay tribute to the unsung hero of aviation, The Airplane Spotter.

Often branded as terrorists or labled as criminals, they continue their eternal mission to identify and document the movements of millions of aircraft around the world every day.

It is the fervid work of Airplane Spotters that has weaved the tapestry of aviation history as we know it, ever since the Wright Brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk.

The faceless and nameless spotter above is shown pointing out N663US (c/n 23818/715; 747-451); the very first Boeing 747-400 to enter service back in February 1989.

Today and forever, the Airplane Spotter will serve as a beacon of light against the tyranny brought about by tens of thousands of incompetent and maladroit rent-a-cops who are all chronically infected by severe and deeply entrenched personality disorders.

To all of the Airplane Spotters around the world, we offer a simple "Thank You."

P-40E Warhawk 80th Fighter Group Burma Banshees - Skull Squadron CRASH DAMAGE

As their probe continues, NTSB investgators painstakingly reassemble the airframe in a secluded hangar.

The aircraft was not equipped with a flight data recorder, or cockpit voice recorder.

Retracts still work.

She went in at 50% throttle. The spinner shattered as designed, thus absorbing some of the force. Pushrods and tubes are bent, but the prop shaft is OK.

Top Flite 1/7th scale R/C P-40E Warhawk

First flight - 2002

Build time - 2.8 years

Engine - 1.2 cubic inch four stroke

This is not an exact replication of a Burma Banshee aircraft, but was built as a tribute.

Last flight - July 9, 2013. According to the NTSB preliminary report, the test pilot reported a loss of flight control. It's an unrepairable hull loss.

Thanks to our Long Beach Bureau Chief for these.

NTSB Deborah Hersman is Awesome 7/7/13 News Conference Asiana 214

Airplane Life has finalized our investigation of this incident.

Asiana 214 crashed on landing at SFO due to pilot error. Contributing factors are lack of crew experience and training.

Boeing's design was not a factor in any way.

Over the coming months, Deborah Hersman's team will find out more useful information, but we are done.
