On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 Empty Piper Tri-Pacer!!!

Post  Kim Fri Jun 14, 2013 5:48 pm

AKA: "The Flying Milk Stool" and "Piper 150", among others, the little Tri-Pacer could be spotted everywhere back in the day.  No rural airport was complete without one or more of these little puddle-jumpers tied down, with grass growing up around their wheels.

I've now lived long enough to see them popularly converted to taildraggers back in the 70's and 80's, so the owner could have himself a 150 HP "Pacer"...then to have the little planes become a classic in their own right, with many converted BACK to Tri-Pacer status!

Sky King Time !!!   Had this beautiful 1956 Cessna 310 stop by for a quick visit.  It's new paint is in the original factory scheme from back when I was 2 years old!

It also still retains the original over-the-spar exhaust that has been changed out on so many of these planes.

Now, if I can just get a Bobcat to stop in and pose, I'll have my hero totally covered!!!!

So, take my beloved, but long-gone Metro-Van:

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 7_12

Add a couple of super-flapped wings with PT-6's hanging on them...and you have the greatest toy-hauler a guy could ask for !!!!

The Shorts C-23 "Sherpa"  !!!!!

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 8_10

Can't boost your Harley up through the giant side-hatch?

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 3_24

Well, just drop the back ramp, and drive 'er in !!!!

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 6_14

Properly emptied, there's even room for a pistol range!!!!

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 Sam_4112

So, you can keep your Tri-Falcons and Learjets...just give me a "GUY PLANE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 Sam_4113

And WHATEVER you do...DON'T forget the cool quips and radio calls:

"Cape Tower, I'm ready to taxi in my Shorts."

"Sure, I'll take you for a ride...just go hop in my Shorts."

"OH Crap, I got a &$%^#@% FAA Inspector looking in my Shorts."

"Yes sir, I confess...that WAS me, buzzing the city in my Shorts."

"No sir, I DIDN'T know it was against the law to pack a Barrett in my Shorts..."


Sorry...perhaps I had too much coffee this morning....

I've flown on the Shorts SkyVan a number of times,on various Regional air carriers, and It had ,by far, the smoothest, most stable ride of any plane it's size. The parasol wings just seem to float the plane through rough air. The strangest feature of the SkyVan was the large stringer inside the cabin that you had to step over which the Sherpa seems not to have for more freight area.
I love the shoe box design with the round nose...
Great Airplane !!!!!

If I saw a model of that I would think the builder was crazy if he thought it could possibly fly on that toothpick wing. Those are funny.

Yeah!  And yet, though I've never seen it, they're supposed to be excellent short-field performers.  They ARE pretty slow, but you get to pack along enough stuff to make it OK !!!

A couple years ago, a civilian Sherpa Driver quoted the one thing you'll NEVER be told by ATC:

"Sir, we need you to slow down."  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post  66 Malibu Fri Jun 21, 2013 9:45 pm

I always figured that the Short Brothers used a version of the Clark-Y airfoil that made the B-24 Liberators, that my Dad flew 50 missions in over Europe, such an efficient long range bomber of the time. It was also used on the Douglas C-124 Globe Masters that I rode a lot on in the NCANG. If you look at a bumble bee and then at a C-124 "Old Shakey" you'll wonder how either one could possibly fly.That brillant airfoil makes them do the seemingly impossible.

On the Ramp Right Now! - Page 7 Empty North American B-25 "Maid in the Shade"arrives at KCGI !!!!!

Post  Kim Mon Jun 24, 2013 5:16 pm

With four days to go before our airshow begins, this beautiful 25-year-restoration dropped in to camp on our ramp !!!  
Based in Arizona "Maid in the Shade" is one of the few warbirds on the airshow circuit that is an actual combat veteran...complete with several patched bullet holes, courtesy of Mr. Hitler's pals!

It was restored over a period of 25 years, and has had many of it's interior equipment restored or reproduced.

Same over here, I suppose.

Only now I see it, it's not a mechanic but the school bus driver!!! (makes no difference to me though).

Anyway, nice pics, Kim. How does a Mig end up in the US? Is it a Korean war relic or was it imported later?

I have a question for the Mig owner: what is the difference in use between the Russian red star with a white border and a star with a yellow border? The reason I ask is that this was a discussion point on the French forum. Somebody constructed a model of a MAK 15 glider and wondered what roundels he had to fix.

Enjoy the show and we can see some more pictures.

Hey Lieven,

I think there are several Migs registered in the U.S., bought and shipped here over the years from various countries. There are several types of YAKs and others running the airshow circuit.

I didn't get a chance to ask the pilot about the Mig's markings, but the group that operates these fighters has a website and Facebook Page, so I'll post links to them here in a bit.

Yeah, our Greatest Generation is going away. One of the crew told me that there's an autograph from one of the Tokyo Raiders inside the bomb bay door of this 25, but I didn't think to photograph it when I had the chance..

Think they were built under license in several Warsaw Pact countries at one time.  Saw several of them at the in Scottsdale Airpark (Arizona) a few years ago, someone was bringing them over (from Poland?) and refurb'ing them for sale.
