This is the latest and greatest Greatest Generation Aircraft patch which is for sale as noted on our http://www.pacificprowler.org website if you go to the Facebook page to see how to order from Dana. Your financial support is appreciated. It will help all of our airplanes: A-26, B-25, DC-3 and Waco CG-4A troop glider. It will be returned to airworthy condition and flown at airshows when we get the time, money and space to rebuild it. The wingspan is 84 ft. That's big... even in Texas!! You can keep up with our progress on Special K at http://www.gga1.org and click on the A-26 picture. Cheers, Jim R

Looks like some sort of a vertical pump "thingy". If is is a pump, it appears to be a fairly small one.

Aw c'mon guys, I am surprised nobody has ventured forth with the Mystery Part being a "turbo encabulator". Have you not seen our own Hawkeye Poole's video? It is a perfect explanation of how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOV0v1Uq5CY&feature=fvst
After viewing, we will have one more round of guesses. So far Muddyboots is in the lead. Mystified in Texas, JR

New Mystery Game. This time we play by Muddyboots rules. To win, you have to invent a name for this "big silvery thingee with the cannon plug coming out of it" part that is anything but the real name! Got it? Game ON JR

Time OUT!! I will have to defer to the judges for a conference call on this one. There is a question concerning the legaility of combining a snippet of a foreign language with engineering gibberishtalk. The part in question is "snitzel". What do you think judges? Should this be disallowed. Awaiting your call. JR

Trust an engineer? What does running a train have to do with knowing aircraft parts. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night. Doesn't mean I know how to run a train, but it does qualify me to be an airline pilot. I see them coming out of there all the time. uhmmm. so ...Will take your suggestion under advisement. However, until we hear from the O2 Lady, it ain't over. She has been very quiet lately??? Making me nervous. She must be gonna come up with a doozy of an answer. For everybody, remember the rule, have to come up with an UN-name for the big silvery looking part. Not the name of the part itself. We are looking for creativity here. :-) Let your light shine!!
