Fantasy of Flight- part 3
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 7:24 amThis motion simulator looked interesting... but it was inop. :'(
Dang... forgot to take notes on this one... Ford, I think... but beautiful in any case.
A couple of nice replicas: A Gee Bee Z, and an R-2 (yes, that's the same one flown so well by Delmar Benjamin)
Not sure what connection, if any, this 1931 Curtiss Jr. has to the fabled Tallmantz company...
but it sure is sweet. I've heard a lot of good things about this old design- I'd love to fly one someday.
Let's have another look at that Stinson Tri-Motor:
Quite a few cockpit sections here, almost all open for sitting in: this Consolidated Vultee BT-13, for example...
This little guy was having fun clambering around inside a cute tainer- thing made from the fuselage of a C172.
Another cool 'pit... this one looks like a replica, though: F-8 Crusader.
Not a replica: very complete nose section of a Grumman Tracker.
My favorite: this Beech 18 flight deck. Very nice...
The UK is fairly well-represented here: check out this beautiful 1938 Avro Cadet!
Then there's the thing behind it...
Next: part 4... last from the north hangar
