more IAR pics please

Let Cabage chew on it slowly.



This is is one of the two replicas. The better one. Made with some original parts. They still need to replace the front sindscreen.

Look at this:



With those thick frames no wonder so many pilots fly with the canopy open.

The fishbowl helmet was built to contain the pilots head when it exploded because of the insane g-forces. Rather than clean up a whole cockpit, the ground crew would only have to rinse out the helmet in the sink, place it in the dish drainer....

Oh wait, something's wrong with my logic....damned drinking....

Jaws, what is the deal with that out door aeronautical museum in Bucharest?

You have all these rare birds like Yak-23 and La-9 exposed to the elements. Shame really.

Not that uncommon. At the Castle Air Museum in A****er, California, the ONLY RB-36 Peacemaker that still exists is outside, 24/7/365, in the smog/rain/fog/wind/sun. Sometimes, museums just don't have the choice of putting it inside.

uh, wtf? I think the word filter needs to be fixed if it is censoring city names *rolls eyes*.

Fine, the city just north west on Merced, CA on Hwy 99.

Or @water

(stupid fcking censoring)
