To be fair I had to look it up to remember the name but I had a model of it when I was a kid.

Project Amelia Earhart .....
Not too much publicity on this event unless you are a pilot or a ham radio operator.
"Round-the-world solo flight by pilot Brian Lloyd to trace the historic route of Amelia Earhart on the 80th anniversary." He just left this morning from Pago Pago at 1500 UTC for the Hawaiian Islands. He will over fly Howland Island, the suspected last location they think she was when they last heard from her and the navigator.

FL230 in a Mooney. Impressive.
The Service Ceiling of her Lockheed Model 10 Electra was 19,400 feet.
However her range with modified fuel tanks was 4500nm.
Speed is close, but the Mooney has much superior navigation equipment.
All in all, a very equal flight for a SEL to a MEL aircraft.Comment

The whole "service animal" thing is more of an excuse for people with low self esteem to drag their pets everywhere. This hurts legit service animals every time stupid stuff like this occurs.Originally posted by likeitfast55 View Post"Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul HarveyComment

Find a picture with more awesome in it. I dare you. I double dare you. And even if you do, it won't be a picture taken in Fort Worth, but go ahead and try...
I'll wait...
An impressive lineup of U.S. Air Force aircraft types were on static display at this airshow at Carswell AFB, Fort Worth, Texas, circa 1967.
The fighter row (middle) includes:
three F-105 Thunderchiefs
three Lockheed F-104 Starfighters
an F-101 Voodoo
an F-4 Phantom II
two Convair F-106 Delta Darts
a Convair F-102 Delta Dagger
a T-38 Talon trainer.
At top, a B-52 Stratofortress bomber and a KC-135 Stratotanker refueler are next to a Lockheed C-141A StarLifter transport and the XB-70 Valkyrie triple-sonic research aircraft, whose center fuselage was made at the then-Lockheed-Georgia Company facility in Marietta, Georgia.
The eclectic group at the bottom includes (clockwise from left):
a Lockheed YF-12 interceptor
an RB-57 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft modified at the General Dynamics (formerly Convair) facility across the runway
a Convair B-58 Hustler bomber
a General Dynamics F-111A fighter-bomber
a B-26K Counter Invader
a Lockheed U-2 Dragon Lady high altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
At the far right, either real or mockups, are an X-15 research aircraft and a Thor-Able booster rocket.

Wings do not work well in this configuration. The airflow issues at the wing root would be insurmountable at anything above stall speed. Neat picture though.Originally posted by Strychnine View Post
