I imagine it must have. A case collection system like the A-10 is complicated and adds a lot of weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was thinking. No jet engines to suck up empties on P-38 either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like I read once that they had to reenforce the leading edge of that horizontal stabilizer between the the tail sections because of strikes from the cases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 At first glance, that is a Consolidated B-32, but I don't recall that aircraft having the twin vertical stabilizers. What is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it? It's the early B-32, maybe a YB. They tried double tails a la Liberator at first before settling on the big single. How bout these 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 A very early DC-3. Maybe the oldest in the States still considered airworthy. Middle picture the plane is weatherized and appears to be at its default airport in Shelbyville TN 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I passed I had a flight in the Cub and was allowed to use the stick after we were in the air. I felt like I had the world by the ass. The cars on the highway below me were going faster than I was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
