P1250891ec1I had the fortunate pleasure to conduct several interviews for the Timeless Voices program at AirVenture 2009 here is the one I did  with T.R. Swartz.

TR set a milestone in Naval Aviation history when he shot down a Mig during an air to air confrontation using Zuni air to ground rockets over North Vietnam.

To this day he still has a special aura around him.

How about a NMF Gulfstream G-5?

Saw this sitting on the ramp at Gulfstream’s facility the other day, yesterday while out shooting pictures of Red Tailed Hawks near the airport it departed. In the sun it is a striking aircraft despite being monochromatic no frills paint scheme. In cloudy weather it looks gray.

Aluminum Overcast

Posted by: Gerald Voigt | Comments (1)

b17banking5aovcpassover5Just a day or two ago…man this week has gone by fast…EAA’s B-17 “Aluminum Overcast” was flying around the homestead. It had just come out of its required inspections, so the crew was out giving it a quick shakedown flight before heading back out on the show tour circuit. Anyway seeing it fly over the house as it made several touch and goes at Appleton, I got to thinking.

Maybe it is time to build the Monogram 1:48 B-17G kit I have in the stash as a winter project. This presents a nifty opportunity to use my paint products as well as demonstrate some useful techniques!
