Thanks for the pics- I'm familiar with both those aircraft. The Connies flew out of Udorn Thailand when I was there, and several guys on a vetrans net I'm on were pilots/crewmembers on them.
The Herk with the whiskers has the Fulton Recovery System on it, right? I used to watch them practice pick ups in the 60's at England AFB, La. They used dummys then to test with. They would do a pick up between the active runway and the ramp. Interesting thing to watch. Somewhere out there is a model of that Herk, I've seen it on video, just can't remember on which tape. that should make a great looking model.
I have a Senior Telemaster and have two wings for it-one standard and one flat that is swept back. You won't be sorry of having a Telemaster. It's my all around favorite plane. I've had 3 Telemaster .40's and two Seniors. (That's why I have the spare wing!)
