Jaime at Topgun

[Onepoint]

Across the road was a museum apparently

Sea Dart, and POGO, things most of us won't see.

But the header on this thread is misleading. I didn't see one pic of 'Jaime at Top Gun'

I'm just not good at taking selfies.  If I was, there would be hundreds of them!   

I just sent one to Honcho, an action shot even. Wally and I are both in it.  Hopefully he'll post it.  For some reason I can never seem to resize pics enough to get them to load here.

The museum was closed the two times we tried to go, but seeing the Sea Dart and the Pogo was a very pleasant surprise.  Couldn't get close to the Dart because of the fence, but the Pogo is a big airplane, and you have to wonder how the hell they landed that thing.  The landing gear are on the tail fins and consist of four solid steel wheels (think old roller skate) proudly emblazoned with the Goodyear logo!

FWIW the software won't allow uploads from mobile devises, at least on android, unless they are saved, it won't pull them out an album for instance.

Well, that sure puts the Bearcat into perspective!

Well, that sure puts the Bearcat into perspective!

The Bearcat is an old 3W kit, 110 inch wingspan.  She weighs about 45 pounds, power is a Moki 250 5-cylinder radial.  We're doing the preflight control check in that pic.  That color scheme shows really well and gives the airplane some presence, not like the usual boring blue Navy schemes you see Bearcats in. 

Honcho, pics won't load off an iphone either!
