Outstanding Dan!  I've seen Ruff Stuff a few times, but never like THAT!  

The real question is...  How did ya get your son to give up the flight helmet???  That's a priceless experience for all of ya.

I've been able to touch Ruff Stuff, but that's it. Last year I got to sit in the cockpit of the B-25 "Maid in the Shade".

Quick question, how come the green tinted glass in the B-25 cockpits aren't in the game? Just curious.

"Hey you!! Grab some ammo belts and have this thing fueled up in five minutes!! I got some business to handle."

OMG thats awesome!   I thought you were just meeting with somebody who was related to Oliver and doing an interview.  No idea actual airplanes would be involved!

Was this out at Granite Fall's airport?   I gotta free up some time when I'm out that way.  And they have  a P-40K to boot!

Excellent post Corky!  The look on Matthews face is what it's all about    Thanks for sharing the experience!

Shortly after this photo was taken, the left prop fell off, and the aircraft caught on fire......... The cause is still under investigation.



Priceless pics sir, your little guy looks like hes having a blast    You definately have my vote for dad of the year.

Obviously they didn't know about your less than stellar P-38 care and maintenance.  Surprised it didn't implode from your presence.  Your son wasn't pointing at a 51 or to get fueled up, he was implying "GET ME THE MORON WHO LET HIM IN THE COCKPIT!!!"
 

Cute little guy there Dan.  I'm sure he's already a better stick.

Nice! It definitely is strange to see you post a thread with a P38 that is not upside down with multiple pieces missing.

Very cool Dan!

Very cool Dan thanks for posting, my son has reached that age where Dad is not as important as when he was younger, at times its sad but also a good feeling knowing he's going to do ok in the real world.now i hope for grandsons or daughters so i can do those things that i miss doing now that he's older.

Dan, Matthew looks great


This post though, it's rather misleading.  Granted, we have a picture of you in an unbroken 80th Headhunter 38.  This is nice.  That's not the issue though, you always start out with it unbroken.

Where are the pictures of the plane when you left it???  Unbroken after you were done, now That would be a story!

[SPKmes]

Wow  your boy has grown heaps since you last posted pics with him in...very cool....
So! is he going to be a bomber pilot like his dad or was that like one of those santa photo's where you have to get the shot before the face contorts into a screaming I don't like this face 

Very cool pics

I'm sure the only way I got into that 38 was because of Matthew.  He charms everyone he meets.  They loved him.  The Owner of all those birds took to him right away, and he latched on to the A&P guy immediately.  Was fun to watch him carry Matthew out closer to the P40 when they started it up and the owner taxied out.  Matthew was signing the prop spinning and airplane.  Absolutely made my day.  Nothing better then sharing it with your kid.

awsome pics corky!!! the lil guy sure has gotten big huh...boy they grow so fast! thats so cool that they did that for him, he will remember that for the rest of his life.
