Beginning My Wish List and Research Projects

[Bookman]

Ok Guys,
This forum is geared to Golden Age research and discussions, so...

My first love is always hoping that I can encourage and inspire guys to build new GA airplanes.

Well, here's my first desire:



And who can identify this beauty?


I'd like some discussion from the rest of you.

Hah! Now it shows up! I just read an article on that airplane, can't think of the name of it right now but it will come eventually.

Cheers,

Phil

Oh I forgot, How do I post an image on these forums? I have tons of Golden Age stuff I could post but its a pain in the neck making links to Photobucket.

Thanks,

Phil

Boeing 80A? I used to know this stuff.

I'm holding out for a Pitcairn PA-5. Last summer I thought I'd build a Stearman C3B, but the farther I go the less I know, and I'm getting discouraged. In the meantime, my research project(s) are SFO area airports circa 1930. Anyone who can contribute images of charts and/or pictures will be gratefully remembered when/if I can regress the area.

Sorry Phil, that's the only way to post images here. We have no facility for direct attachments

No sweat Tom, I'll just do the link thing. I have some pix of hangers at Floyd Benett and North Beach, and lots of planes. I'll upload them to Photobucket.

Cheers,

Phil
