Somethin' Amurican made... Sure, have a soft spot for the 747s. Also grew up liking DC-7's. Allegheney Airlines was still running them at Friendship airport when everyone else had moved to DC-9's and 727's.

For my non civil wing of the fleet, I'll be wanting a Corsair F4U, a P47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning, and a F-104 Starfighter. Ooh, and a PBY for going to the beach.

A: I better start playing the lottery, a lot.

B: The MINI isn't looking like such a expensive toy all of a sudden.

 

You might as well add a Millenium Falcon & an NCC-1701-X to the list while you are at it!

 

Very nice footage, Mark.... its a big bird!

 

Thanks. Meant to take a mono pod so I'd be steadier but forgot. Trying to shoot at 20x zoom is a bit of a challenge hand held. But considering it was hand held I'm happy with it.
