Holy Crap!

Israeli pilots friggin' clank when they walk.

I liked the "Dogfights" episode with the Israeli pilot.

I thought you meant this thing that blocks out a big chunk of sky.

Awesome aircraft, Boeing was using it to transport parts from Wichita to Seattle.
Then they built the dream lifter.

Awesome Aircraft.
If it wasn't for H/H and the Goose.
I like how the planes have evolved.
I feel that I have one of the best jobs in the world by getting to build them.

ALL motor and not much else.

The Gee Bee was a early racer BUT it killed a lot of pilots

Funny twist of fate on the oldest living racer for the GEEBEE was Jimmy Doolittle. He died in 1993. He was testing his Laird Super Solution and crashed it in Wichita. Right after that Granny Granville called him to race the GEEBEE. I think that's how it goes.

The original brick. Put two big engines on it, and fly it low and loud

My Uncle flew Wild Weasel in the Air Force back in the 60s in the F-4. Crazy sumna bi@atch.
