Steve, if it makes you feel any better, I'd have to believe you use a here on WIX once for every 10,000 times I must.

'Course, the important thing (as I repeat to self over and over and over.....) is that we learn stuff. For instance, I've never seen this photo before -- wow!!

<< Whoops, photo won't post. It's the first one at link below. >>

From this very nice little site: http://www.armyairforce.freehomepage.com/history.htm

Great photos Al!
Glad you got into the Lanc. Every dollar helps us to keep it in the air.

Seriously cool stuff....don't think I've ever seen a Corsair and a Lanc in the same frame before....looks like a great show, and as we have down here in Colorado....MOUNTAINS in the background-really makes for a cool backdrop does'nt it? Was Bud Granley in attandance, maybe flying the Golden Hawk?

It was worth the wait (only a 1/2 hour). My friend Lyle apparently did 360's of the interior. I can't wait to see those!

Well, it was a blessing and a curse to have Mt baker out there. It was the first time I remember it being so clear but after three days of that heat some clouds would've been very welcome.

....it's a Luscombe T-8F. I'm not all that great at identifying the vintage stuff .....

Oh, I don't know about that, young feller, you just won a gunfight with Steve Dickey and he ain't no slouch. Good work, sir! I'm an old Luscombe fan, but have never seen nor heard of this one.

Here's a thumbnail description: http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac3/C ... beT8F.html

Well, I wouldn't take too much credit as I just Googled the N (or is it C) number.
