WWII Warbird

Spit, you can enter as many as you like, as long as there's effort in the pics, and you present a relevant, historical anecdote along with it.  :)

I have mine already

I have an idea, if we're doing a museum why not make if for all types of aircraft like WWI, Cold War, Modern, Airliners. And in order to get the aircraft in the museum you have to show why it should be in there, through the history Just an idea

Ravang, ultimately, that's what we'll do. Great thought. Initially though, let's focus on a specific time period, then see how it goes. We could spend a lifetime posting WWII pics, recounting heroic events that transpired during that time and still not touch on a fraction of the many stories and events that came out of WWII. If we go for all time periods right away, the content of the museum will seem pretty diluted until many, many entries are accumulated, don't you agree? Maybe after a month or two we can add a second "period display" to the museum. What do you think?  :)

Ok that makes sense now that I know the "evil plan" of things

If everyone is calling their aircraft, I call the Grumman F8F Bearcat! I hope this choice is ok, the aircraft should just scrap into the WWII category. If not I can change!

Again, this is a great idea Clipper!

Thanks Mab, you don't really have to call your aircraft, as you can submit an aircraft that's already in the Museum. As long as the livery and historical description is different from those already posted.

Great idea, but I'll wait until the right category comes along.

A splendid idea - and I'd like to enter my favorite aircraft. But how do I add the picture)s)? I understand the basic parameters, 800 wide, no more that 100 file size, but not how to actually post the pix. Is there a tutorial somewhere that covers this?
                              Many thanks if advance for any clues...

In this particular feature you have to post as a clickable thumbnail. I'll post a link to a tutorial on making thumbnails tomorrow when I get time, if someone hasn't already done it by then.

I'm interested in this. I got my computer this week but I can't use it yet  >:(. It needs it's own circut because it takes up so much wattage. It's a brand new Dell XPS  :). I can't wait to use it. I will post screens soon. Is anyone interesed in an mp airshow for the anniverary of the first flight in December?
