Coolest thing(s) I've seen in awhile.

Still digging thru Dad’s stuff since his passing in 2018. Came across a WW2 Aircraft camera. Why he had it?? NO freaking clue. Anyone know anything about it? It’s complete from the case to the Manual and extras..

Cool none the less.

Went out on the boat today with some friends since it was so beautiful, took a little run up on the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan. when we came back to the marina there was this sharp little 1966 Fiat in the parking lot. Thought I’d share ..

My building is the red arrow, and for those that don’t know, the trade center is the yellow.. The picture doesn’t do it justice, my buildings is actually across the street from the Trade center, but the picture makes it look like a few blocks away.
 
Interesting.

The early B-57 Canberra medium bombers used a powder charge to start the engines.

So do the B-52's sittin on Alert, if you've never smelled the smoke from a cartridge start, you'll never know what you're missing!! Really good stuff!

I have launched plenty of cart starts, sucks when it doesn't fire though. It has to be removed after 5 min and placed at the wing tip for EOD to pickup. Scary handling it.

I did plenty of alert cartridge starts on KC-135s. Anybody here do alerts alerts at Goose Bay? Big alert pad there. Bombers and Tankers together. Back when I was there it was not uncommon to see RAF Vulcans taxi by or parked on the Canadian ramp. Even saw one take off. Pretty cool.
 
You never told me you had your own building in Manhattan John. Pretty impressive...LOL. But not as cool as the beach house in Ft Morgan.
That’s why I have no money, the building cost me a fortune.. lol

But Nothing will ever take the place of my little house on the Redneck Riviera. :D
 
So my next-door neighbor, who is a cop, came over and knocked on the door yesterday said that his partner‘s wife saw Dads Truck and wanted to do her Christmas pictures this year with the truck as a backdrop. I jumped on the chance, got the truck all spiffed up. I thought it’s a cool idea. She had a professional photographer take her pictures, these were snapped with my phone in between sessions. I’m sure hers look much better than mine. Lol

Since Covid, for the most part, has us trapped for the holidays. Gave me an idea maybe we should do that here, take some Christmas pictures with your favorite Cbody and post. Maybe I’ll start a thread.. hmmm
