On our way to Frankfurt tommorow, before flying home on Friday.  I promised a few pictures.  Don't have time to label them - look at the image label in the links, if you don't recognize the pictures.

I'll throw one Canon S90 (great little camera) non-aviation related picture in the front for fun.  Much time in Munich and Nurnberg.  Incredible cities.  Breathtaking.  I love being back in Europe!

All in all - we've shot about 1500 pics so far.  Many, many engines - including an Il-2 Sturmoviks'..

Hope you enjoy these!  I sure did. Best trip I ever had, in many ways.

S!

Really nice, It still amazes me after two  wars, any of the WW1 stuff is still around.

I concur given the choice between bronze cherubs and aircraft. Buildings are rather dull by comparison and they certainly can't fly upsidedown; my new standard by which all things are held to before I am impressed.



Ahh golly thanks. Four MK108 in the nose ought to do it. BLASTO!
These are great pictures from a mechanical era. If you needed a switch it had a mechanical linkage to execute the function. Everything had a physical presence in reality. As always with war machines everything is minimal & pragmatic.

Great sharing there Gunny .. i see you puzzled in the picture..
