Part 2 of the Sikorsky Fly-In

[jordonj]

The show did not just contain Sikorskys.  We saw this Supermarine Walrus come in too (created by the same guy who did the spitfire).



Now if only I could get that Beatles song out of my head (Goo Goo Ga-Joob!)



I had some other shots of this S39 (CS?) Spirit of Africa.  But this one is the best!



Then we began to see some S38s.  Here is one in the Livery of Inter-Islands Airways...



And Pan-Am (now defunct, in part due to that bombing in the late 80's)



Northwest...



And, of course, the Untin Bowler (same one I saw in Maine a few weeks ago).  I swear, the guy flying it came out looking just like Leonardo Di Caprio in that trailer for The Aviator that's coming out!  He even gave the Pan-Am guy a dirty look (which was returned in kind).  This was all show though, I understand he two of them are lifelong friends...



Shortly after they Untin Parked, two men approached me.  Nothing spooky; no "men in black" or any such nonsense, just two ordinary guys.  

"May we have a word with you?" the first one asked.

"We'll make it worth your while!" added the second.

Nice shots.

Wonder what those guys want.

Stunning Aircrafts! I guess you had to search a lot for them... Ah yeah, even you heard this phrase many times: Really interesting and great told story! Keep it on!

Lovely shots Jordan.  That Walrus is an ugly thing isn't it!

I saw one at RNAS Yeovilton in the Fleet Air Arm museum.  Kinda looks like they designed the fus then though, hell where r we gonna put the wings and engine!! so they just plonked it on top.

They have a Sikorsky S-38 at the EAA Museum. You can go inside and at the front of the cabin is a big tv where you can watch the story about a guy who took his Sikorsky from Wisconsin all the way down to the Amazon in South America. Very interesting!
