Cannot doubt it at all. It followed the daddy into production. Better ideas always follows next. I still like prop planes best. The old P47 ThunderBolt was like that. Take a Lickin and Keep On Tickin. B-17 Fortress was that way also. Would have been different if the two I mentioned had liquid coolant and light structure. mike

Looks good...but needs a little man sitting in the cab to make it complete. mike

LMFAO.....now that is a keeper there. mike

I first saw and heard the Worthog in 1982 at Myrtle Beach, SC. A very impressive machine no doubt. I'm a prop engine enthusiest and liked the Vietnam Era SkyRaider with it's Wright Cyclone R2800. It could get down closer to the ground and slower than the jets. It was an impressive machine also. The Worthog took it's place with jet engines. mike

Yea these are good photos. I like the aircraft. The bi-planes with two wings are the Stearman Pt-17 Kadets. They called them the washing machines because of the many want to be pilots that washed out of pilot school trying to learn how to fly. These were your basic trainer planes and would top out at 100 kts. I had the pleasure of flying one like the blue airframe with yellow wings near St.Louis, Mo. in 2001. It was fun but when making sharp turns with it, the airspeed would fall off very fast then have to level the wings and let it gain the lost airspeed. It is a very fun plane to fly but you have to fly it at all times even on the ground. Also I had the pleasure of flying a P-51 D Mustang at Falcon Field near Atlanta, Ga. in May of 2005. You can find it listed on the Commemorative Air Force web site in Atlanta as Ole Red Nose. It was used as a trainer but not listed as a full trainer by being a T-51 Mustang. It is mostly all original except it has no gun sites. Most of the Mustangs today do not have the original gun sites. You are strapped in a parachute first then the seat belt, 5 point harness. If you want to fly it then you are checked out on the few instruments, stick and rudder pedals throttle with push button talk switch. To make a long story shorter it has soooooomuch power that you feel like you can concquer any flying task. At startup it sounds like a 6 cylinder engine but at takeoff it comes alive and is deafening. As you wait for the tail to come up so you can see over the long nose you watch you manifold pressure to keep it below 40inches so it want do a ground loop. As all pilots you love this airplane at first site and it will show you some great pleasures but it can kick your butt at a moments notice if you don't watch out at all times. I got to do 90 degree turns, saw and felt what it was like to do a 320 mph in a high speed dive below the trees at a small airport. It does the dives in short order. It is incredibly fast and i'll never forget that day. I can now see it was a great aircraft for our military pilots. mike

Someone has done a very nice job in restoring that mixer. Don't think I would use it for work anymore. I would like to see it in person. Can you get some inside shots and more info on it? mike

You can say that again. LOL mike

Oh Thomas.....Vinny is busy at this time of night.................probably dreaming of U Model Heaven. mike

It would be nice to see an all Mack show down here. I would call it a very good day and would totally enjoy it. I'm stuck at work each June and cannot go on vacation, and it is a real bummer. mike

My dad landed today 69 years ago under easier conditions. He said the beach was cleaned up to help the moral of the countless GI's landing. My Respect Goes Out to All that Served and Serves. mike

Barry......can you add some Winnfall wimmins to the forground? It would add some excitement. Oh.. how about a calendar of each month of the year? Trucks would be ok to. mike

Yea....that's right.....turn the phone upside down. That's what I tell my g/f and it works fine. Even the pictures look ok that way. mike

Man Vinny.....are you sure that it's not a new one? Your not taking the 5th are you?If you can be down here saturday mornin i'd be happy for you to start early. LOL Still think it's a new one. mike

Barry if it were't for you.......I would not have anything to look forward to all day, and sometimes at night. Cough....cough.....sniff....sniff. mike

I was waiting for someone else on BMT to notice. I hate to be correct all the time. Takes away the fun from everyone else. LOL I was going to call your wife and tell her, but heck......she already knows you best. mike

Is that you in the middle, with the hat on? The nose is still large but, hay.........something has to stay large....right......Congratulations....I need to do the same thing, then I would feel like taking on about anything then. Good Job and keep it up! mike

Hey Thomas, glad to see it coming together. Looks mighty fine. I like the green paint on the body and burgundy fenders. I know those boys get excited when you get them involved. Keep up the good work. mike

They really like wimmins washing and waxing the trucks, it just makes the truck look a lot nicer, then we give you a bigger welcome. Not just welcome. welcome mike

Sorry to here of it, but there can be a positive aspect of it. If at home you can get those things done we guys put off. Glad to see a Mack picking you up. mike

I sometimes wondered how the Bee Gees and Tinney Tim would have made out together, making music? How about Liberrachee and The Rocket Man, together. Now that would have made some "HITS"......Hey Hey.....how bout Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmy Hendrixs together. No tellin what the outcome might have been. LOL mike

LOL Larry.....I thought i'd come up with some kind of S%$T..... far as I know......Sears may be all rice burners also. I wanted a Cub years ago but read where MTD had bought them and was making crappy quality. Larry I need to send you a pm. mike

Ford built vehicles without tax payers dollars......remember when GM needed help from the Government? I ride a Craftsman riding mower.....built in America. mike

Ok Rowdy.....I was referring to the type of manure Tom was talking about. We use to call them horse apples or hedge apples as some call them. Had to have them to make fresh, green, horse manure. LOL mike

Mice need a home too. Mine was too greasy for them to make home their. Cheese and peanutbutter will help the mice. mike

Tom don't forget the apples............. mike
