Goodly evening all...

Visiting Toronto, Ontario, Canada this year, then this World War One Flying Museum is a must to see...

Some great shots of aircraft on the above Link as well.

These aircraft would fly over our old homestead several times a year...

I try to visit the museum twice a year...well worth it...call ahead to see if all aircraft are there as many do airshows.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I once saw a WWI plane fly at Rockland, ME.  It was one of those that the crankshaft was connected to the aircraft, instead of the propeller, meaning the entire engine would spin.  For a throttle it basically had an on/off switch, and had just enough power to get airborne.  Pretty cool to see, but not quite my idea of a fun flight.

Very cool Doug. Glad to see they are not charging vets.

Alas, I will never get to see it unless they create a virtual one on the internet.

Very interesting Doug. I see that all the museum aircraft are replicas with modern engines. Nicely done but not quite like the real thing.

Good morning all...

Thanks Dave and just think about this...many old radials used Castor Oil for lubrication...kept the aviator regular...

Thanks Larry...

Hi Doug:

Thanks for those two Links...much appreciated...

The doctor will not let me travel right now, as a matter of fact I think they buggered me up back in
