Old Magazine Ads
I thought that it would be fun to start a thread that featured old magazine ads or pictures. If you have any to add, please do! Here's a few to get the ball rolling.

8178, is that an Ultra Sport on the cover of the Great Planes catalog?

that would be correct. In fact I think it's an US 40 given that it appears to be the metallic charcoal and silver trim one (I actually have a bunch of those flyers from back when GP would throw them into their kits). The next picture posted by 8178 is a page on that inside of that catalog showing the Tiporare, the Illusion and the Dirty Birdy. The first two were, I believe, the first two glass pattern kits sold by GP after they bought them from Bill at WK hobbies.

The King Altair. Dunno, but the mag is around here somewhere. My problem is, if something lays around long enough, and I don't get it to a secure place, my wife gives it a heave ho. I have to get stuff to my shop. She even throws away my old shoes.
I will see if the mag is in the shop somewhere.

RE: Old Magazine Ads
Thread has been pretty quiet lately, so here's some more.
This one is from the '68 Nats held at Wright Patternson, I was there as a kid at the tender age of 12. My father competed in this one. Notice the pic in the upper left. I've known Pete Reed all of my life. I used to cut his grass when his family went on vaction. My father and him were good pals. They even worked at the same factory!
