Remember when you would sit in a cardboard box and make airplane noises? Yeah...did that today at work in the Great Lakes frame
We never grow up do we!
Ostensibly it was to test my toe brake design...
Post your wonderful tales of cardboard box simulation below!
Tailwinds,
Adam...off to fly my box!

My cardboard box had an instrument panel thanks to discarded pages from My dad's DC-7 flight manuals.
Dave....still flying DC-7s :)

you guys and your boxes and airframes to play in...when I was a kid we had a set of steps and an imagination
I've clearly made up for it with the time spent building the simulator

One of the fun toys of my childhood (was 1962 that long ago?) was a cardboard Mercury space capsule, complete with a spining "map" of the Earth. OF course you had to go in through the "hatch" ... On second thought, it was a heck of a way to get a kid (relatively) calm and quiet in one place for a long time!!.

The good'ol days.
My favorite cardboard box was a refrigerator box I had fixed up with the gauge
cluster and seat and steering wheel from a wrecked 65 mustang.
One of my dads friends owned a junkyard, (little boy heaven!) The only bad part
about the junkyard was the BEES!

Don't forget, growing old is compulsory, growing up on the other hand is optional...........

Doctor visit 1.
As a 4 year old I got stitches in my knee climbing a barbed wire fence.
Doctor visit 2.
A couple of days later I got my very first aircraft , you guessed it , a cardboard box , unfortunately it was a tight fit with my arms trapped tightly next to my body , well I tripped didn't I .
Crash landed on my chin , more stitches.
For a 4 year old it doesn't get any better , 2 lots of stitches holding me together , and all at the same time , so cool.
Cheers
