    Favorite Aircraft?

    Nick, your very Tigercat was Tanker E62 of TBM Inc. It frequented our local airport along w/ seven other F7Fs during the '60s and early '70s. There were scores of TBMs and a few B-17s as well. Most of my photos need re-sizing before I can post them here, so it may be a little while...

    Is this a "Special" airshow?

    Jim, I have been the chairman of the Nevada County AirFest for the past 7 years. This year - we're not doing the big warbird show (volunteers need a break) but the local EAA chapter is doing their pancake breakfast fly-in where they'll show off their experimental planes. I designed the ad you...

    Where were you in 1968 ????

    ... Okay, so "Mustanger" gave me this idea from his recent post... What were YOU doing in 1968? I was 8 yrs. old, walking to Catholic school across a former gold mining town on the western foothills of the Sierras. Everyone knew everyone which meant you didn't do anything stupid on the way...

    Wisconsin Photographer is Back

    ...Okay, now I like the models you feature on the other Mustang, GTO and Camaro. Not so adolescent looking. As for the quick sale - that wasn't a bad price for a 4-speed fastback. at any rate - good job. ;-)

    Wisconsin Photographer is Back

    ...She could be 19, 25 or even 35... She looks 13. I'm not sure what it is, but when I see those ads, I'm affected adversely. I agree she is not needed.

    ...Indeed a little odd. A classy model here & there, fine, whatever (tho not needed w/ these cars) This business of 12 & 13 yr.olds is degrading to the sales effort not to mention "weird".

    Wow, What a Mustang day!

    Regarding shifting pattern, mine does Rhonda, but I think Arlie was referring to the location of the speedo-cable gear box on the transmission. Is that right?

    Wow, What a Mustang day!

    Re; the odometer, it's true! When I removed and spun the cable backwards, the speedo worked and the odo' nudged in the right direction. I suppose I could do that "Ferris Bueler" thing & put it on jacks and run it in reverse w/ a brick on the gas pedal. 'Just have to be in a good mood tho...

    Wow, What a Mustang day!

    Thank you Arlie, I will check on that. I know it's a Ford tranny as I had it completely rebuilt when I put the posi on last November. Not the original tho, the car came w/ a C4. Someone told me I could get some sort of gear box adaptor that could be fitted where the cable feeds into the...

    Wow, What a Mustang day!

    Donna if you start behaving yourself, the rest of us won't have much to look forward to here anymore. Speaking of odometers - the speedo on my 4-spd car doesn't work and the odometer runs backwards... I've taken about 800 miles off the car since acquired. I'm sure it's something simple-...
