Took this pic at 'The Old Aircraft' museum at Rhinebeck NY. This replica E111, having a dog fight with a Camel.
He put on such a great show!

Ah, lovely shot that brings back memories. About 1965 or so we went over to Toronto Island to watch the Canadian International Air Show, and Cole Palen had his planes parked on the grass right against the fence at the Island airport. Saw them taxiing in and out, man, the sights, sounds, and smells were sheer heaven!

Sweet! That looks so cool. I'm always amazed at how well some people can do rigging. I'm gonna try soon, but I suspect I'll have a thousand tries before I do as nice a job as you've done.

Really nice Glenn, thanx for sharing.

Well, you completely had me there.  Wasn't until I read the rest of the description that I realized this was, in fact, a photo of a model.

Great, GREAT work, Lyn!   :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

Yeah, the blurred port wingtip is a great touch  :)

If you _ever_ have the chance to go to Rhinebeck Aerodrome, you must, especially if you can catch one of the weekend airshows. It is so different from any other aviation museum you will visit. I'm going back this summer for the first time since I was a teenager.
Stick-and-string birds may be heck to model, but they're gorgeous in flight. :wub:
