    The Bobtail BUFF is a new one for me. Very happy I didn't report to work that day.

    There were a hell of a lot of planes last time I was through there, but the '17s were all gone. You could get a Buff or a Hustler.

    The frame speeds of modern cameras are quite impressive…but you already knew that…I think you’d fit in pretty quickly in Australia OP.

    The mighty Herc…from the 50s! And designed by my (easily) favourite manufacturer…Lockheed (Martin)

    The US may have been behind in aircraft design at the outbreak of WW2…But today no one surpasses them.

    That’s an interesting camo pattern. I only ever flew on one and of course sat along the bulkhead. Going from Norfolk to Guantanamo Bay Cuba. It was smooth flying, naturally. I think one even flew off the carrier Forrestal in 1963.

    I bought a Mamiya 645 1000s camera as soon as I got to Japan in '83. 1/1000th second shutter speed. I could stop time with that sucker. Bought a telephoto lens so long the tripod mount was on the lens, not the camera. Loved that thing. But film was approaching its demise, so I haven't used it in a good long while.
