  1. Some would consider my personal Safe to be an arsenal.
  2. Thanks Frank, good read. I give you credit for condensing this story into a well done video.
  3. I couldn't find any reports from ATSB or much of anything for that matter except a basic description of the accident and search. Was there anything mentioned about the compass being damaged? He didn't seem to have any problems during his initial flights, could it be his compass was fine but his visual cues were wrong that made him think his compass was wrong. Guess we will never know, so I thank you for your observations and for bringing this particular accident to our attention, it certainly is an interesting thing to ponder. If in doubt, fly the coast.
  4. Hi Frank, I'll reserve judgement on this pilot's actions until I see part 2 but thanks for the views and entertaining stories. One quick question, did this aircraft have any rudimentary auto pilot as planes did back then, such as manual altitude adjustments and turn to left/right button.
  5. How low can you go, a few tried. That was fun, and those sounds were music to my ears. Thanks for bringing that video to our attention Frank, I for one never tire of watching and hearing the old bird's fly.
  6. After stopping a mugger and protecting his girlfriend, a Marine reflected on his actions and decided the criminal deserved an apology. To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last. I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message. First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to a
  7. Happy to hear Little Pagasus made it back into the original family line, great end to the story. Thanks for the views Frank and taking the time to bring this story to us.
  8. I give the guy credit, that is quite a distance at 90mph. Thanks for the views Frank.
  9. Did you try the edit button, it is found within the three dots on the upper right of your posting box. I did check out the second post but try the edit first in the future. Yeah, the forum is a bit slow but if things don't work the first time, try, try, try again.
  10. Hi Frank, enjoyed the flights and info on this one. From the air, it seems almost impossible for the allies to do what transpired. Looking at that wonderful map/day keeper at the end, I have to ask who the army on the left of the map were, they covered quite a lot of ground before the ones on the right even got going. So many dead and wounded because of the ego and hubris of one man, shameless. And that's not even mentioning Japan's leaders at the time. Thanks for taking the time and energy to make these informative videos Frank. I'm not British but I'll say it anyway, cheers.
  11. Hi Frank, you didn't make the video address a link.
  12. Good thing I installed Surge Protectors
