A couple pix from LAX several years ago.

 

From the In-n-Out burger stand.

That picture of Rare Bear reminded me of Lyle Shelton. My friend had subleased a hangar at Compton airport. One day Lyle came by and picked up some things left behind. There was a propeller and extra blades, etc. for a Bearcat and a few other odds and ends.

 

Back in the mid 70s, I was working as a machinist for Bob Mullen working on race engine cylinder heads. Bob had designed the first Top Fuel Aluminum Hemi engine just a few years earlier for Donovan... the Donovan 417, based on the 392 Hemi. He also had a contract with Chrysler "Direct Connection" to port all the 426 Hemi and 340 heads and we did a lot of Pro-Stock porting. He even had a contract with George Bignotti (Indy race team) to manufacture redesigned cylinder-head assemblies for Offys. I recall doing some work for Dave Zeuschel and Mullen showed me pix of Zeuschel's shop. Zeuschel, of course, was very active in Unlimited racing at Reno as well as drag racing. Apparently, I was fortunate to have attended two of the Mojave races before they were ended. Lefty Gardner was there as well as the big DC-7.

I could look at aircraft all day long. My favorite is WW2 aircraft, actually use to play a flight simulator called Aces High 2, AH2. My love for that era increased when I found out my wife's grandpa flew 27 missions in a B17. This painting is about the bombing raid on a Oil Refinery in Hamburg, he's the copilot in the lead plane.
