Lone Star Flight Museum Flyday 3

[Jakemaster]

Part 3.  We moved inside for a few to see the museum statics and the Hall of Fame

*Imagine Merlin* Sorry ozzy, too big!

*Imagine HUGE radial* Sorry guys, too big.  PW4830 radial engine, powered the B-36


We all take FS for granted...link trainer

Guess the engine...hint-its VERY rare!

Rotty, didnt you say that a plane at old warden needed an Ox?  Heres one...

Do the Hustle do do do do do do do do do...

Back outside.  These guys were gone for a long time, and this is why!  Talk about Heritage Flight!  Man!

Sinoe again, it is soooo sleek.  When it did its flybys it looked like it was going supersonic and it was super quiet!


More to come...

Just a wild guess, but judging from what little I can see in the plaque in the picture, I think the engine is from one of the Nazi jets in WWII.

Excellent... love that B-58; I've never seen one.
And that heritage flight...!!

You're a bit confused about the OX-5: The Jenny under restoration at the golden age museum has an engine standing by...
Not sure if they need one at Old Warden- better ask the British members, because OW is in England...

Interesting point. There's possbly an OX engine in a museum somewhere in the UK & they might even have one at Old Warden. I don't think there are any examples of the Jenny over here. I found references to 105 JN-4 followed by 175 of the later JN-4A being exported to Britain during WWI & of them being used by flying schools in Britain & France during & after the war but I don't know where this would have been. It's certainly the first I've heard of it.
