I met a weird plane today.

I don’t like the way that big guy on the right is looking at that little gal on the left.

Looks like the conversation went like this:
"We've run out out of metal to complete the nose"
"Just stop where you are then"

I think you should buy it off of Barnstormers as a restoration project. You’ll be able to haul more people. Perhaps others will pitch in to help with the restoration.

I bet that nose leaks when it rains.

I have also been considering the piston conversion for my 747 as well. Waiting for a group buy with Iron Maiden to get a better price though.

Carvair....

Cool! I had an old book about old piston airliners and I remember this one well.. neat to see that one is still flyable, at least according to Wikipedia:

"The second (N89FA / "Miss 1944", the 9th Carvair) is based in Gainesville, Texas at KGLE Gainesville Municipal Airport, and flies with Gator Global Flying Services on ad-hoc cargo charters throughout the United States."

I don’t like the way that big guy on the right is looking at that little gal on the left.

And his tow bar is sticking out for all to see! Oh the horror!

Interesting,very interesting.

I thought the last airworthy one crashed in Alaska years back...My bad, looks like the second to the last one.
