The Beech 18 and C-47 sounded equally nice. Didn't have time to get closer, and I missed a night shot of the 29 under the lights...had a Tri-motor the days before CAF and the airport parking was FUBAR...

FNBADAZ06 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Interesting story about a B-29.......my Dad's old business partner/friend (and my "flight instructor") flew the B-29 "It's Hawg Wild" from Tucson to England back in the early 80's' !!! I went up in it once when Skip was finishing the final preperations to fly it cross country and over the Atlantic to England following restoration work that was performed in Tucson. What a ride, doing touch and goes at Tucson International Airport. Great memories.....too bad Skip killed himself in a Cessna 421 at Ryan field later that year. So went my career in aviation.

I thought I saw yer ride in the parking lot sometime ago, but was on a break and had to get back to my class. Cool story, and while I can't replace Skip, I can get ya' through a check ride and Pilot License! Ya got me thinkin' too....I wonder if there might be 3 or 4 of us that would like to buy a plane together???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 My uncle is getting up in age and has been considering giving up his Mooney 231 before he's unable to pass the medical. Problem is, my cousin is a pilot as well and she will probably inherit it LOL. I've spent a few hours buzzing around in that one...pretty fast plane, especially at cruise altitude. My other uncle owns a Columbia 400......what a rocket that plane is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
