Ranger, Corsair and Villager

+ Citation, Pacer
- The Villager was a wagon.
What's that on the ground? Motor oil?

^^ + Bermuda and Roundup. Both also wagons

Will this never end?

How much more can we take?

:D

This is the post that never ends.

It just goes on, and on, my friend.

Can't forget the Rambler.....

Revell, Monogram, AMT, Lindberg, Testors... just off the top of my head.

Is it safe now?

They were "unsafe at any speed," but there was no mention of the dimension of time!:)

MAC's safest (lowest # of accidents per miles flown & tonnage carried)

Be the first kid on your block to get one!

Inquiring minds want to know...

What will DG look like next?

...and could not be replaced in active service until the introduction of the C5-A because the C130 (1956) and C 141 (1964) weren't big enough internally.

1950 to 1974 wasn't a bad run for a shakey old plane. :)

Our C-124B (not in photo) was an airborn/mobile comm center......plenty of room for Large comm equip of the early 60s and to haul our K-55 comm vans with us. Extremely slow.....we would lift our feet to keep them from getting wet when taking off on MacDill runway.;) It ate magnetos like candy....very noisy.....but got us there and.....more importantly....back. They were unique....

Okay, how many of you had one of these??? :D

Nothing quite like the sound of four R4360's coming to life. Sounded like you were going to go somewhere. Modern Turboprops are kind of... anticlimatic.

I wouldn't want to go back mind you, but as a young A&P student it was a thrill to go out with Dad to Tinker and be around the big planes.

The Thuds that came to the unit later were sexier of course, but that was a different world altogether.

We had one of those! Is that yours, still with the original box??? Are the ants still alive :eek: **********

The tremendous clouds of smoke on ignition/startup were something to behold on an O- dark-thirty cool damp morning. "Walking the prop" was an unforgetable "why me again" pre-flight detail.

Ever tangle your sister's hair in the rubber band?? Ruins your rubber band....

More in line with the title of the thread... "round and round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows" ...

The Ted Mack Amateur Hour.

They had drawings on a regular basis. That was the signal to mix up the letters in the drum.

I always loved Lincoln Logs, but I never had enough of them to build my dream-log cabin. I always needed more. . .
