Great shots of a unique Twin Beech and a Norseman in a unique enviornment. Thanks for sharing.

Since these are both former miltary aircraft, the thread could have been posted in the regular "warbirds" WIX Hangar forum where it may be likely to be seen by more.

Good shots of the L-5 and the M29C. Must have been chilly flying around in that L-5!

If I ever get an L-5, Norseman or Beech 18 (C-45), THAT's the colour scheme I'm putting on it!

Great photos of a very interesting subject. Thanks for posting that.

Agreed.
Great photos of what must have been an amazing adventure. Thanks for posting.
Would be interesting to hear what became of those machines. I think the Inspector is packing his suitcase to have on the ready! :D
Can I call dibs on the Norseman?
