love that museum .... especially the B-17 ..... and the SR-71.... love the tech in the plane....I bet you were loving every minute with your background ... I wonder why they would design the B-24 with a twin rear rudder knowing the issues it had .... the B-29 is so massive the video does not do it justice ... the B-52 is so well known that everyone knows that one from sight .... but my all time favorite is the B-17 flying fortress ...another great video my brother and keep'em coming ....and as always we smashed that like button real hard .
Thanks for watching Jeff ! I certainly was in "Hog Heaven" for sure !! I agree, the B-17 is my all-time favorite too, with the B-29 running a close second. But nothing can be more "hair raising" than an SR-71 flyby !!👍👍 I think the twin rudder idea on the B-24 worked okay at lower altitude, but engineers might have miscalculated effects at higher altitudes ? I'm sure there was a lot of "unknowns" as aviation was still fairly new back then. After the war engineers replaced the tail section with a B-17 configuration. It flew much better. It was called a PB4Y-2. Only a few were built for the Navy. The B-25 Mitchell had similar issues, but mostly flew at lower altitudes. Thanks for smashing that LIKE button Brother, much appreciated ! Tombstone video next. 👍👍👍
Cool place. I lived about 2 miles from there when i was at U of A. I always recommend it. My step-brother piloted a Huey in Nam, was kind of neat hearing his tales. Thanks Allan.
So cool that you were there. I'm sure it's change a bit over the years. I knew a guy who flew Huey's too. He had some wild stories as well ! Thanks for watching !
Caught a quick glimpse of my old PV-2 Harpoon 22:10 just under the right wing between engines 3 & 4. Looks as if she’s due for some touch up paint. I worked on her back in the early 90’s when she was in the back lot before her restoration. We were given permission to gut the inside to make ours complete and in return we gave the museum all the parts they needed to make the outside complete for display.
Thanks for sharing your story. Many years ago, someone had a Harpoon parked at Rialto Airport. Looked like they were using it for parts. Maybe you ? Cheers !
VERY COOL..THANK YOU
Glad you liked it!
Very cool video and nice sweatshirt!
Thanks for giving it to me !
My Dad was training to be a B17 pilot. The war ended before he graduated. THANK GOD!
Close one for sure. Survival odds weren't that great. Did he serve in Korea ?
@@allansgoldmining No. He didn't. Maybe too old by that time? He lived to 92.
Awesome..
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers Tony
Thanks for stopping by Tony. Good luck out there !
