The old Exploder was a good aircraft...did Multi-Engine Training on it.

After Ab-Initio Training a pilot would be selected to fly the Beech Expeditor (Exploder) for Multi Engine Training or go on to the Lockheed "T bird" for Jet Training.
I flew both as I already had a Multi-Engine Rating which I obtained on the Piper Apache.

Nice shot...certainly brought back some fond memories...well done... <<q

Good afternoon yancovitch...and a wet afternoon it is... :whistle:

To answer your first question, No I did not know Vern and I don't think I ever met him.

He was probably on the Argus when I was on the Douglas DC3s and Canso's.

I knew a few of the Argus Crews but I was never on the Argus, although I would have loved to have flown the Argus and the Yukon! :dance:

Yes Yan I am an Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezer who is a Decade Plus several years past seventy-three (73)... :lol:

The Old Girl and I are almost the same age, I a year older and a whole lot smarter... :lol: :clap: :dance: :whistle:

And that is what I tell the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and I am sticking to it even if the Old Girl makes me stand in the corner of my wee little shed down in the underground parking garage... :doh: :think: :violin:

It is a gem in the sky of an aircraft. Did you do the repaint on the aircraft. Nice shot thanks for posting it Yan.
