You have to love it!
Hearing that these three wonderful Wacos had landed, we went out to the flight line to have a look. Their owners, three wonderful older couples told us they had just flown in for lunch at the FBO.
*sighs...

If you look at her other photo you will see it is a wood prop. Just like the one that will be on my plane when it's done only my plane is much smaller and lighter then what those Wacos are.. It looks like empty weight of mine will be about 360 lbs. to their 1600 lbs I think it is... But mine will also fly on 30 Hp too
A number of companies make wood props and that's all they do. I'm sorry but one of those round engines sound nothing like a four banger that was used in a Cub. Maybe they do sound like that to yours ears but not to mine. I have a few hours behind a P&W Wasp and Wasp Jr. And the Jacobs have their own sound to them as well
I still remember when P&W was still making the their Wasps (round engines) and Cessna was making aircraft to use them. See Cessna Bobcat if I remember right.

What I'm doing is using plans for a 1924 Dormoy flying bathtub replica to make a replica of Dormoy's 1925 race plane. It will be powered by a VW bug motor that puts out about twice the power the Henderson motors did. Yet I'll only get about 20 MPH more in cruise speed... for twice the fuel burn... SO slow it back to 60ish and use about 3 gallons per hour and that's about half a gallon more an hour then the Henderson's used, for 50

Ah, ok. Our FBO tried to start up a charter service a few years ago but never got it off the ground because the plane they bought was a money pit. Right now our FBO is closed until further notice because the bank (5/3) has been such a douche (stealing insurance money, violating banking laws, etc).
Ohhh, that's lovely, darling! I'm jealous! You don't see something like this here in my country, if only because there's hardly any major airports around, let alone small local ones...
*giggles and huggles*
I know a certain green mousie who will be standing in a puddle of drool when she sees this... =~.^=

*laughs... oh yes I bet she will...
we don't get anything like this very often either, but every now and again...
Once - years ago - I was working at Ft. Lauderdale International and the Blue Angels came and were staying right there - and we were invited to a reception. I brought the family and we had a ball...

Wait!
Am I do understand that you, a fellow furry who loves the skies and the beautiful birds we built and pilot to conquer the great blue yonder...did not get a ride in ANY of these Wacos????
*falls over from intense shock and surprise*
I guess the only cure is to have you seated in the co-chair of a plane painted with candy-coloured Ponies on the side....
To Florida!
*triumphant pose as he runs off to airfield*
BETTER CALL TWILIGHT SPARKLE THIS NEW YEAR'S EVE...CAUSE 2012 IS GOING TO BE MAGICAL!

the fellow I shared a ride with to North Carolina told me he was taken for a ride in that Husky I posted a picture of. He was thinking of buying one (oh to be rich) and after he had flown it for a bit, the instructor took over to show him what it could do. He said he almost lost his lunch. Apparently the idea that he actually had to fly the aircraft at all times put him off a bit. (no autopilot)

I would love to - trust me...
I watched a show on television - 'Tales of the Museum' I believe, and at the Ford (as in cars) museum they have an entire display to the aerial circus' (barnstormers) of the 30's where the army first got the idea for aerial refueling when one fellow climbed from one wingtip to another in mid-air with a five gallon gas can.
