Northtrop YB-49 Flying Wing

One of my 2 favourites is the aerlier flying wing similiar to the present B2 Flying Wing. Such was already realised and built with a working model in 1944! Some said it was realised that it could evade radar and was quickly destroyed and even the drawings. It may not be time for the world to know such secrets especially so recent after the world war!

Close To The Real Thing

Having and being in the real thing is expensive but fantasy and keeping our dreams alive is not! There are scale models and some are real to the very minute detail or to the very rivet! They varies in scale and intensty and of course in cost. Nothing is free and time have to be spent in researching, assembling and painting the decor! this close to real? Minus the pilot of course!

Land To Sea

From land to sea, you name it, flying is unlimited. Old vintage aircaft like the Sunderland is just one of the many old but capable aircraft. There are newer types that are more capable. Most useful during the World War 2 where downed pilots were rescued from the sea and from the enemy boasting the morale of all! These boats are a great service to all!!!

Expensive Hobby

Military aircraft are not only for military use but also for private use too. Retired or surplus aircrafts are owned by private individuals and kept and maintained as a hobby...an expensive one! Such a place is "Thunder City" in Africa where private individuals operate and own even former nuclear weapon delivery capable aircraft! Such an aircraft is the British Lightning. Once the pride of the Royal Air Force and defender and deterent for the United Kindom.

Beginning to the end!

Beginning of flight, to the end of flight. Ending at the "elephant's graveyard". Where all retired or "moth balled" aircraft gathers. Somewhere in the Nevada desert where the air is dry and humid and keeping away the feared corosion to the metal skin of planes.

Being also a cheap alternative too for idling commercial aircrafts too. using the dry desert ait to preserve it for later use when better times are back again! Aircraft being kept and later canibakised for spare parts and also a cheap alternative too!

Beginning of Flight - The Wright Way

Flight

Flight, which had been fascinating mankind since the beginning of time. Manned, ummanned or as natural as a bird itself is freedom being in the air. Freedom and unrestricted as man can imagine.
Freedom in the air, without restriction except in the cockpit itself of an aircraft. Free to move and navigate. Feeling as free as a bird in the air. Like a bird in a "metal bird" compared in ancient days even in canvas!

Metal or carbon fibre as it maybe but it flies! Comes in all shapes and sizes but thanks the the Wright brothers, whom prove it was possible in their very own flying machine, Kitty Hawk.
