Default THE GREAT EASTER PHOTO THREAD...


What about it...

We are all surely going to do a bit of Airfield activity this next few days ...How about a few pics of what you have been up to, rather than scatter the photos all round various threads, lets put them all together here...dont really matter if we stray a bit from the pure Jet thing ....just what the usual contributors on the forum happen to put in the air over the Holiday ..... I'd even relax it enough to allow photo's of those foamy things with electric motors housed in cardboard tubes down the middle of the fuselage be posted up.... y'know the one's that come in Cornflake packets.. ...MR TIGER...

Does rowing a boat in Central Park count?

Ok. here is a pic... just received it from Patake, our local builder. These are the new version of the JM-1, same size of the first version but now with full enclosed turbine, frontal air intake, retracts and transparent canopy. (One of them is mine, two others for friends)... the engines this time will be P-80´s and P-120.

About the black rectangles, sorry about them but they are sensitive material.... they will be unveiled at the 2006 jet speed event coverage.

While not strictly a photo and while out engine running I did video some of the local wildlife http://media.putfile.com/Easter-theme

Does this count ?

NO flying allowed in Central Park! The law stems from the old free flight days, when people were getting hit in the head by runaway Brown Junior powered Berkeley Buccaneers! But they do have a great model boat pond, where you can rent a sailboat if you like. There is a huge waiting list for slips in the model boathouse, it's part of NY's social register, with slips being handed down from generation to generation...
I have lots of interesting model boats, occasionally I bring them out...
Anyway, here's what I flew today...
A Commonwealth Boomerang, the only one in the country, all the way from Australia. Still needs some sorting, it flies very poorly, hard to figure out...
And I tested my Flying Styro Tony, which was just BEAUTIFUL. Way too windy, but could not resist.
Flying Styro has a STAGGERING Me-262 coming out this month, in either single or two seat versions. I have the two seater on order, it will get retracts and Nachtjager Matreze antennae....

Nice Easter theme though........ Happy easter to all of you.

Dave,

What are you doing on here? You should be finishing your L39 so you can post your pictures on the Easter thread

Or are you waiting for the Christmas thread?

Hee....hee....you are so right Dave !! Sometimes it's nice to just take a little time out to admire some of the great locations around the world we fly in.....big T.rex would have spoiled this one though I reckon [X(]
