      Good video on gear up landings...

      Seems the Cessna 210 is the poster child for it.

      This guy also make a good point that you might as well keep the engine/props spinning, as your insurance is going to cover it anyways, you might as well get ready for a go-around if need be. I would be worry be about with a plane with props that are might break up and enter the cockpit. Yikes. Thoughts?

      Weird, video link isn't working at the moment. Here the full Youtube URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ot2YxPHdE

        Well, if the airplane is conventional twin and happens to be equipped with wood props, that could be a serious problem. Aluminum generally will just bend over. I doubt it would be an issue with any single engine or any airplane where your body isn't in the plane of the props rotation.

          Back from Reno. This years air races were memorable in many ways. The first night I was there provided me with these...



          I shot a boat load of pics. Nikon was there offering equipment for the media crew to use, so naturally I had to take advantage of a D810. I spent 5 days shooting with both my D600 and the D810. I'm really looking forward to seeing what all I have.

              I applied last year and was accepted. I applied again this year, and once again got in. The fact that I got two of my pics from last year in this years program might have helped.

                when i was a little boy of about 11 or 12, my dad and i went to a farm auction in rural indiana (maybe it was ohio-i can't remember). sitting inside the old wooden barn was a somewhat disassembled p51 a or b just like the one in your last couple photos above. seems like i remember it had a 4 blade prop though. it had some damage to the wing but most everything including the fuselage was still in crates from the surplus auction it probably came from. the whole ball of wax sold that day for about 12 grand. fuck!

                  The bunk area mostly- it amazes me that there's more or less an apartment up there!

                              My dad got off active duty flying in the early 1960's, around the time the ANG was selling off surplus P-51's. He said the going rate was $500. He didn't buy one. Has kicked himself for the last 60 years since. As another aviator, I will kick him too :)
