    The XB-46 is correct. It is a very nice plane to look at.

    Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first.

    Not sure I'd like to see the takeoff performance at weight of the -46 from KSAN...

    Good afternoon Sir
    this looks very much like the Crouch-Bolas "Dragonfly" of 1934 (is it by any chance X13262?)

    Fellows, I am 101% sure about the Reo, and I have to leave for an extended weekend in a foreign country (England) so if John will excuse me, I will post a nice easy one to keep things rolling along.

    Please continue when you get it. This is a scene from an aircraft carrier. Lots of clues, but can you name the ungainly machine at the front ?

    An extra nip of single malt if you can also name the carrier !

    Good evening gentlemen
    This must be the Lascurain y Osio Model 4 "Aura" (XB-ZEU) of 1957....as far as i remember she ended up tragically.
    Cheers
