Planes? I stopped by this museum in McMinville OR on tour one year. The ‘Goose’ is too big to photograph!
Don’t know what happened. I posted nine pics and they’re duped? This shot is inside the Goose looking towards the tail.
Tiny little thing isn't it?
A marvel of engineering
It’s really hard to believe that (just) eight motors could lift it from the water. This is just one wing.
Took a lil ride today before my first oil change. Supposed to rain for the next week or so but today it was nice. These are the whoopties I mentioned before and some barren Oak trees seemingly trying to see which one can grow the most branches. Got my revenuer detector mount installed on the Z too. Can’t leave home w/o it although there aren’t any revenuers out here.

The first unit is from V1 to use as an audio adaptor if I wanted to use earbuds, which I did for some time, or for use with a concealed display. Not being able to see the warning lights on the V1 in the bright sun I found a ten LED display from Marc Parnes that plugs into the audio unit for activation. There’s no way to miss ten LEDs when the V1 alerts to a revenuer. Got very tired of wearing earbuds so I switched to a visual alert. Can’t tell whether the alert is for Ka, K or Laser but with the newest version of the V1, if it’s lit up I’d better slow down. Don’t need them in the car where the warning lights are easily visible. It’s saved me thousands over the years in my cars and on my bikes.

Righto gotcha, i could never use earbuds either, i used to use an old walkman speaker soldered to use a 3.5mm, it sat behind the foam next to your ear in your lid. Use these now :

Last Hercules I saw wasnt water capable or maybe it was and didnt remember that part. Maybe that's what sets it apart from the C130?

That's where my confusion comes in.
It’s also made out of wood.
