he July 2011 Desktop Calendars and Wallpapers are now available from the Warbird Depot website (http://www.warbirddepot.com/desktop_calendars.asp), this month includes:
1. Chuck Greenhill’s magnificent pair of Mustangs seen over Ione, CA. on September 8th, 2010. Dennis Sanders is flying Cavalier Mustang “Lou IV” while North American P-51D Mustang “Geraldine” is being piloted by Mark Watt. Both Mustangs are finished in the markings of the 361st Fighter Group and are based in Kenosha, WI.
2. Arthur Dovey is seen flying his Yak-3 at Warbirds Over Wanaka 2010. Arthur is a former RNZAF fighter pilot who was also keen on WWII fighters so he purchased his Yak from Ray Hanna. Arthur loves flying the aircraft and bases it at Wanaka airfield.
3. A formation of Ed Russell’s warbird collection, Rob Gillman is seen flying the Hawker Hurricane Mk.XII with Skip Holm in the rare Messerschmitt Bf 109E at the 2008 Thunder Over Michigan Airshow. This years Airshow will be held on July 23-24 in Ypsilanti, MI.
4. Robbie Patterson flying Comanche Fighters’ rare Grumman F3F-2 at the 2010 Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino, CA.
5. Larry Kelly’s Rag Wings & Radial’s North American B-25J Mitchell “Panchito” (s/n 44-30734) performs a night engine run at Bridgeport, Connecticut Airport during the 2011 Stratford Wings & Wheels Airshow.
6. This Fokker Dr.1 Triplane replica is one of seven airworthy examples operated by The Vintage Aviator Limited, in New Zealand. Four are on display at the Aviation Heritage Centre at Omaka and the other three are based at Hood aerodrome in Masterton. They are all painted in Jasta 11 colors and this one is seen being flown by Stuart Tantrum following Classic Fighters 2007.
7. Robert Wiplinger’s converted DHC-2 Mk.1 Beaver (N100KL s/n 758) throttles up for a water take-off at the Orillia Lake St. John Seaplane Base in Ontario, Canada.
8. Brian Sanders is seen flying the Planes of Fame Air Museum’s very rare Chance Vought F4U-1A Corsair during the 2011 Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino, CA.
9. A formation take-off of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum’s two North American Harvard Mk IV's. Painted in the colors of the Royal Canadian Air Force display team the Goldilocks, #5 is being piloted by Bill Long while Andy Dobson flies #1.
10. Like the E-3 Sentry Airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft, the Boeing E-6B Mercury is adapted from Boeing's 707-320 commercial airliner. Making a pass at NAS North Island, San Diego during the Centennial of Naval Aviation, the E-6B replaced U.S. Air Force EC-135Cs in the "Looking Glass" role, providing command and control of U.S. nuclear forces should ground-based control become inoperable.
11. Wearing partial Naval Air Command markings and built as a small passenger aircraft by de Havilland, the heritage of this 1958 DH.114-2 Heron started on the lines of the successful DH.104 Dove, by adding more wing area to accept two more engines and lengthening of the fuselage. This is the only flying example in the world and is seen here making a pass at Stead Field, NV, following the 2010 National Championship Air Races last September.
12. Major Mike Maeder in a McDonnell Douglas F-15E "Strike Eagle" of the 335th Fighter Squadron performing a "Dedication Pass" at the 2011 Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino, CA.
