Hi guys,
I visited your extremely fine collection today and had the greatest of times. I'm Dutch and live in the Netherlands too, yet it wasn't until today's visit that I got to see some of my all time favourite airplanes. As a matter of fact, with the exception of the Me-262 ALL of my favourite WWII airplanes were ove...r there to see!
Kudos for the very nice collection, and thanks a million for allowing people to see it from up close. If I'm going to be back here in the summertime, I'll definitely look out for the flight schedules to see if I can see some of them in action.
Cheers!
Olaf

America’s Hottest
In the months before Pearl Harbor, aviation advertisers were in love with the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk/Warhawk. It was the hottest fighter around and everyone, it seems, wanted to associate themselves with America’s pointy-nosed poster child. One issue of Aero Digest from October of 1941 had the P-40 ap...pearing no less than 37 times in ads! The U.S. Army’s premier fighter is used to hawk (no pun intended) everything from engines and propellers right down to every last self-tapping screw, gasket, rubber anti-vibration mount, tube, and bearing.
Flying Heritage Collection Boeing Co.'s new 787 jetliner finally took to the skies today from Paine Field on a four-hour flight over Washington state, beginning the flight test program needed to obtain the plane's Federal Aviation Administration certification. Since we share the same field, we popped over to check it out.

Hurricane Annual
In the winter, FHC mechanics work on annual condition inspections of the aircraft—simply called “annuals.” Days ago, the Hawker Hurricane was moved into the maintenance area by FHC staff. The Hurricane is a little unusual—a British-designed fighter, built in Canada, and powered by an American-built co...py of a Rolls-Royce engine that was developed in England. Got all that? It doesn’t faze the mechanics. Though they say the Hurricane is a tight airplane. With the panels and cowlings off, it looks as if all of the fighter’s mechanical workings were literally poured into the fuselage. This makes it a challenge to service any one part amid a massive maze of Hurricane components.
Rainer What happened to the FW190 found near Leningrad ?

Mystery Panels
I’ll bet you never noticed the panels on the inside of the landing gear doors on the P-51 Mustang. The stainless steel strips seem a bit odd, but they are there for a reason. If the fighter’s hydraulics are shot up, a pilot can “blow down” his gear with an emergency system. The main gear doors aren’t p...art of the very basic mechanism that muscles the wheels and struts down and locked with a sudden burst of air. The unlatched doors are simply and violently pushed out of the way by the tires during the process. The panels help protect the inside of the aluminum doors as the tires shove their way past.

After an excellent 10 day trip that was condensed into 6 hours of HD video, I am finally able to present to you this year's EAA Airventure music video. To the tune of "The Killers - All These Things That I've Done" I've created a montage of some of this year's highlights. ...
