I remember an aviation accident at an airshow years ago where the pilot was trying to 'throw a boom' at the crowd. The idea was to fly towards the crowds then turn abruptly as he was about to go...

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

Hi NFO,
I, of course, knew all of that... I've also been on the one and only P-3D and a Beartrap. Our favorite gal is old technology now but will still stay flying for another 3-4 years till the...

Even stranger than the Horton, how about a Lippisch P13a, though I don't believe that it ever flew. The fuel was coal dust, from what little I've read...

Thanks, Ernie. That reminds me a lot of the plane that I remember. The detail on the canard is a little fuzzy, but I think that's the plane... No matter what I did to google it up, I just couldn't...

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

I'm visualizing a German plane, twin contra-rotating pusher props, developed at the end of WWII. I think it was a Heinkel... I can't seem to find the designation.

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

OK, I'll toss one out. Can anyone identify this airplane?

The astute observer will say "That's a P-40", and they'd be right, but not 'right enough'. There were a group of P-40's like this. ...
