Man those steam catapults make for a helluva hole shot. Something like 150 mph in 150 feet.
Hope that Guy was OK.

For 'blade' especially the fuel tanks are real close to the leading edges on Citations. Sooo my son was helping put de-icee boots on and a 'newby' was doing the other wing and found out there were two different lengths of screws,(the longer ones only go in the upper edge of wing) punctured fuel tank!! Thank god my son was on other wing.

So 'Ski' my son might be going to Canada to put boots on Northrop-Grumman Firebird(?)block 2. You probably know way more than me. Drone/piloted.

from back in the day thread , looks to be a spitfire ,a corsair and a hellcat ? can you id the other planes in the background ?

 

[Basket case]

that's a Martlet (Grumman Wildcat) in front of the Corsair. I think the two on the right are Fireflys.

 

[Bladecutter]

I'm pretty sure the plane in front of the Corsair is a Grumman F-4-F Wildcat.
