Well Mr Jeff I better post some more N3N photos if this is all it takes for you to come back and visit. :wink:

There's still 'a couple' N3N photos you still haven't seen. I'm almost convinced of that. And let's see the belt buckles.

I'm on here every darn day I just don't post much...................I got word some Stearman owners are out to find someone who started a movement to give termites new homes with travel benefits. I gotta keep a low key :axe:

Bring on your new pictures. You made my year last time with just one picture

If I made your year last year that's good, but that also means your easy to please. (which can be tough around here sometimes lol) I'll see if I can at least make your day. As for those Stearmans? You can take a guess what these guys are doing. They ARE stearmans right? :wink:

Photo states Hill Field, Airplane Repair Hangars No. 1-No. 4 I believe somewhere in Utah, date unknown

Same lovely airplane in 2010. In its 59 number.

Not my picture your picture now. Insulted? come on now! :wink:

What I see in that photo are a bunch of Stearmans bowing down to your N3N-ness!!!! :prayer:

BTW for those who have asked, trust me I do work everyday, I'm just good at multi-tasking. I've got three monitors here in the office.

I've always subscribed to 'if you enjoy what you do then that's your job, if you need to drag yourself to a desk and perform a disliked task just to keep bread on the table, then it becomes work, and I always hated to work'. :wink:

Speaking from the 'I'm retired' corner of the room :lol:

Bill I've always considered "if you enjoy what you do then you have no job", but I know what you mean.

Do 1/16 scale vintage Langley Research Center Wind Tunnel models count as cool?

1/16-scale model of the N3N-3 seaplane tested August 1939 - October 1939 in building 645

Model XN3N-2 test photos May 13, 1936 in building 645

Ahhh!!! knock it off!!!! ... If I'm this good at digging stuff up, then that just tells me you guys are no good at it, which I doubt!!! Accolades and "atta boys" are for those who need accolades and "atta boys" ... of which I'm not that guy, but I'm always grateful for the kind words :wink:

I'm just happy to find some fun stuff from time to time which I hope we ALL enjoy, after all we're ALL hooked on these old airplanes right?
These model photos would make for nice screen savers don't you think? :supz:

Wait a minute! Something interesting there - is that an operational Kingfisher in (at least) 1947? I thought they were all retired after the war.
